Hi ! I'm trying to authenticate users on a Linux Red hat AS 2.1 against a radius server. I have upgraded my OpenSSHd to : OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001 The users accounts are NOT stored locally on the sever (no accounts in /etc/passwd ). Users ssh to the box : ssh test at testserver.com passwd: test I'm usign PAM to direct the authentication request to the radius

This needs to be a configurable option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching someone on the CC...
