Yes, it's a PAM problem.
The libpam-radius-auth plugin is powerful but has the limit that users have to be previously created on the machine and this is not practical when you have thousand of users that could access to the machine (e.g. universities informatic laboratories). A similar plugin for Windows (pGina + RADIUS plugin) is able to automatically create the users after first succesful authentication.
Because Windows has a different API.
Would be nice if a future version will be able to also create users - what a "useradd myuser" would do - after first succesful authentication.
Sure. Send a patch. Alan DeKok.
