Linux PAM Authentication failed: Non-Local users

[Anand Neeli]

Say, if i create a generic user(username: remote) for non-local accounts.
I'm trying to figure out if i can load user remote profile and authenticate
non-local users with radius.
if i can create a PAM module that loads the “remote” user. This module
would be configured after “account pam_unix.so” as “account pam_<name>.so”

Can anyone suggest/foresee any problems with this approach?

Thanks,
Anand Neeli
