Re: anyone knows about pam_pgsql ?

Hello Peter,

there is another pam-module, which might work. You can find it in
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysauth-pgsql. I'm not sure how good
this work. I tried nss-pgsql version 0.9.0 from the same author and run
into massive problems. Maybe version 1.0.0 is better. I didn't try it.
My solution was to create my own version of nss-pgsql. If you need it,
you can find it on my homepage http://www.maekitalo.de.
