Most PAM modules use getpwnam() to look up the user, and will fail if it does not exist; some modules don't (for instance, pam_ldap looks the user up in the LDAP directory even if nsswitch isn't set up to use LDAP) You probably want to write your own PAM authentication module to handle account creation. Feel free to contact me off-list for further information on how to do this. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
