Hi all! Since PAM is obviously becoming more and more obsolete I was wondering if anyone was ever able to sucessfully got OpenLDAP authentication running on Gentoo without PAM.
I have a freshly installed, PAM-less 2005 test-server running over here with a functional LDAP tree. I am able to authenticate users against LDAP itself (ldapsearch) so we're fine with that. But it seems there is no way to enable console login for LDAP users. For all I understand nsswitch should be able to handle that perfectly (as it does in Slackware) without PAM as a pre-requisite. BTW I installed LDAP based on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ldap-howto.xml. I'd be glad to hear if anyone had luck in that area. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Heinz Sporn SPORN it-freelancing Mobile: ++43 (0)699 / 127 827 07 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Snail: Steyrer Str. 20 A-4540 Bad Hall Austria / Europe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
