Put simply, I want login to use a SQL table to check validity of users, in addition to PAM, Kerberos and normal /etc/passwd authentication types. My question is: has anyone done this and if it at possible? I know this might not be 100% UNIX standard, but let's say in my case, I care less about standardization. By the way, it can be an optional component and you don't have to use it at all. Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
