Hello

How can I get to work that when Iogin, I do authentication against a RADIUS
server, using pam_radius_auth.so, and not let login lookup the user in
/etc/passwd.

ie I want to configure one central users-serves (using RADIUS and LDAP), and
have all login-reguests be handled only by RADIUS, so no user-entries in
/etc/passwd?

BTW my RADIUS configuration ik OK,

radtest user password radiusserver 0 radpass

gives Access-Accept. But logging in gives message

login[5363]: User not known to underlying authentication module


Any hints appreciated

Gr, Hans
