Re: unified login (unix + windows)
Al,
for password checking on PAM systems, check out
/etc/pam.conf
-or-
/etc/pam.d/*
in the /etc/pam.d directory, you will find files which are called login,
rsh, xdm, etc.
edit the login file and add
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
continue that format down the line of the login file for the sections
passwd and session, etc.
this will tell PAM to use the LDAP lib to authenticate.
