Pam radius with non-unix user

Hi all,
I am developing a small application in which I am using the pam library
(version  1.3.17<ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/pam_radius-1.3.17.tar.gz>)
from the freeRadius web site.
I have configured the file under /etc/pam.conf of my first station1 to
support the PAM radius module in order to authenticate my user against the
RADIUS server running on the my station2.

I have a non-unix user "fatma" which is successfully authenticated against
the RADIUS server.
My question is is it possible to login to station1 with the user "fatma"
even when this user isn't a unix user.
In fact, I have set all flags in the /etc/pam.conf to optional then I have
connected to the station1 through rlogin but the authentication failed. The
only way to authenticate the user fatma is to add it in the station1.

I just need to know if this behavior is correct or may be I need something
else.

Regards,
--Fatma
