Hello Lowell, I want to make the server services like ftp, smtp, pop3 and radius authenticate with postgres instead of passwd file. I need to do this to create new options like, the user maintain his own account by himself, and I´ve been some tests with passwd file, but the passwd file have corrupted some times with simultaneous access. I looking for the easier (faster) way to get it and I should to know if I must use pam.pgsql ou pam.ldap. I´ve seem many people saing that ldap is hard to make it work, but I don´t know if I use pam.pgsql I´ll do all servirces authenticate.
