Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I've been trying to find a way to get the system to authenticate using an SQL database. My first idea was to modify NIS to use an SQL serfer for authentication, but then it was brought to my attention that this had already been talked about using PAM. Does anyone know if PAM provides full authentication services? E.g. will programs like radiusd still function w/o modification? Do you guys think that PAM would be a good starting point? :) I'd love to hear new ideas on this. Thanks!
