hi, anyone of you pls guide me what entries to put in nsswitch.conf for pam to work with krberse, i'm trying to authenticate users from AD, I thinks (my findings) pam.d/dovecot looks into /etc/nsswitch.conf for which passwd databases to use while authenticating a users. my krb setup is working fine I tested with "kinit username" and it authenticat to AD server. Atm i'm trying with these setttings in /etc/nsswitch.conf with no success. #group: compat #group_compat: nis passwd: files krb group: files krb hosts: files dns #networks: files #passwd: compat #passwd_compat: nis #shells: files ~ My plateform is freebsd 5.3 regards Askar
