Hi Emile,
I have got my workstation configured so that ctrl-alt-f1 drops me to
a login prompt on the workstation (ctrl-alt-f2 is X with gdm from the
server). I login and authenticate off a "local" copy of the passwd file
which is in fact sym-lined on the server from /etc/passwd to ~/ltsroot/etc
and NFS served to the workstation.
I didn't document all the steps that I needed to do to get it working
(unfortunately), but I'll try to recall them for you.
My ~/ltsroot/etc/inittab contains
2:345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
At first I had
1:35:respawn:/bin/sh -login
2:35:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
so that I could try logging in on tty2 and when it failed read the error
messages on tty1.
I copied programs from their location in /bin and /usr/bin on the server to
~/ltsroot/bin and ~/ltsroot/sbin. Things such as mingetty, login (sorry I
can't remember all apps that are needed).
I repeated above for libraries, things like libpam.so.0, libcrypt.so. It
was a bit trial and error so I've put a listing of each of these directories
at the bottom of this e-mail. Not sure which ones you must have but this is
what I have and it works.
I also put the file "login" in the ~/ltsroot/etc/pam.d directory thus:-
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so
account optional /lib/security/pam_permit.so
password optional /lib/security/pam_permit.so
session optional /lib/security/pam_permit.so
HTH
Pete
