NIS NIS+ LDAP - aW My apologies if you have received multiple copies of this, I have had a problem with subscription to these lists recently. I am investigating methods in which to replace the unix password file system for authentication and account verification with a database like mySQL. Can anyone offer any recommendations as to a way to do this, or links/information to web pages. PAM doesn't see to cut it! AFAIK (& I have tested) applications such as qpopper still check the unix db for account existence, before proceeding to use PAM and mySQL to verify the password.
