Hmm... Ever think of doing a pam module for gnats? It would allow you to use any authentication pam supports. Of course, that doesn't take away the need to manage user permissions, but at least it'll take away the dependency upon a gnats-specific passwd file. .oO(mmm... ldap + kerberose...) You know. One thing I never understood was the fact that the passwd program didn't have a target file option. Take NIS, for example. Most people revert to manually editing and maintaining a separate map file for passwd and group in /var/yp/ for security reason (though that's like spitting in the wind if you ask me). Why not just use a modified passwd program and specify /var/yp/maps/passwd? Anyway, it looks like that last time PAM popped up on the radar for gnats was back in October 1999. Regardless, it would be a welcome addition. May as well add that as a feature request. ;-) Well, back to work. -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8Gk6PDMcLGCBsWv0RAjWjAKDW7Xq4AsSzrPWYkD1bbirCDzPxSgCcD9Uh c63/AByozetwmN6KOP4LsB0= =TjoK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
