OK guruz, here's a chewy one for you. I am rassling with PAM and not winning.
The problem is how different distributions configure it. Red Hat has a master
PAM file called "system-auth", which I believe acts a global default.
Correct?
Now we move to Debian. Is there something similar? I see files called
common-account
common-auth
common-password
common-session
Do these also function as a global default?
The problem is configuring winbind modules for PAM. I really don't care for
the idea of configurating every single flippin' service separately for users
authenticated via winbind, I want a nice global pam config. you know, like in
the good old days of /etc/pam.conf
And I dare you to find this documented anywhere that makes sense.
thanks!
