Hi all, I've installed an authentication's solution using freeradius, with mysql database on RedHat 4.7. I would like users logging into other Linux Machines to have their login/passwd authenticated using mysql on freeradius server (SSH) I've seen that to authenticate successfully, the login id has to be defined locally on client Linux machines. In summary, is it mandatory to have the login id defined in the client linux machine ? other solutions ? thanks, Nasr-Eddine BADAOUI

That's the way PAM works. There is apparently a way to define uid's && gid's via PAM, but the documentation for that didn't exist the last time I looked. Alan DeKok.

That's the way PAM works. There is apparently a way to define uid's && gid's via PAM, If you want centralized uid/gid and passwords (ala Active Directory), NIS or NSS might help. One interesting example is http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/nss-mysql I don't think there's nss-radius though.
