G'Day All, Is it feasibly possible to remove all user account authentication from the shadow file system and put it into LDAP or authenticate against MySQL using say PAM. As there are some PAM modules for MySQL.
Would that not make user and permission handling =much= easier? I know that LDAP is good and have successfully setup some systems using LDAP as the authenticator (w/tls). Could MySQL through PAM also be done in theory? Cheers, Richard Ford.
