  No.  PAM doesn't do that.  It's impossible.  PAM only does
username/password authentication.

  You'll need to use something other than PAM.

Using PAM to auth to FR w/ mysql?

2002-02-12 Thread Michael Letchworth

I'm still trying to figure out all the possibilities about how I can use
freeradius on our system? Is it possible or even a good idea to 
configure a system like the following?
 
I want to have the users (10,000) in the radius server running mysql
and not /etc/passwd file except for the system users. I was hoping that
I could use pam so the users can authenticate for other program
like proftpd or qmail etc. I'm not sure if it would be possible to enforce
disk quotas and each user still having a unique UID number.

Correct me if I an wrong but doesn't PAM return the same information
like UID,GID, shell and home directory that the getpasswd does?
