Dear Tru64 Managers,
We have a mixture of Tru64, Linux, Solaris and Windows machines and I am
looking at ways of simplifying our authentication mechanisms.
It would be helpful if we could enable shadow passwords without all the
complication of enabling Enhanced Security. I am almost sure that some
time in the past I read that this is possible with later versions of
Tru64, but I have googled and looked in manuals and can't find any
reference to this. Is my memory letting me down? If it is possible could
someone point me to the documemntation that describes how to do it?
At the moment we are running 4.0G, but we could upgrade to a later version
if there were sufficient motivation.
Alternatively: is there a way of telling Tru64 to use a Samba PDC as
authenticator (perhaps by compiling our own PAM interface)? This looks
like the best option for Linux, Solaris and Windows.
Thanks for your time,
Bob
