Guys I'm neither a PAM fan or guru but without doubt this is comprehensivley handled by PAM. I also have no doubt that you would need to write your own module. But a suitable module, using a database would work well and all the time and effort channeled into scripting hacks would be available for ltsp for all future needs of a similar nature (whereas the hacks stay as inconvenient hacks) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
