Re: anyone knows about pam_pgsql ?

thnx a lot for your reply. I would like to give the nss a try, but I
dont have the slightest idea how to use it (in case I managed to
compile).

I just know how to use pam by adding a appropriate login-file to /etc/pam.d/ that contains things like:
auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so

how would look this enty in case I'm using one of the nss-pgsql-tools ?

sorry, but I'm really 100% newbie on nss.

thnx,
peter
