PAM_LDAP



Hi,

Quick question.  Is it possible to get pam_ldap to authenticate against
an LDAP server without the need to create entries in the /etc/passwd
file?  As far as I have seen you still need to create an entry in
/etc/passwd for each user detailing environment variables such as shell,
mail, homedir etc. and that PAM_LDAP basically is only capable or
replacing the /etc/shadow file?

Is it beyond the scope of pam_ldap to replace both /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow?

Cheers,
RJ.
