RE: problem authenticating using pam

["Schutz, John" <Schutz.John@tci.com>]

The passwd file had to have valid users so the system knew what to do with
em after they were authenticated...the passwords weren't critical (or
needed), except as fail-over if ldap didn't work or wasn't available.

So you're saying that the password file still must have valid entries?
Then that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
