But this looks like you have a single machine providing all these services. For all the services that have files under /etc/pam.d the consolidation is already done. You'll have to drop in the apache mod_auth_pam module which for some reason isn't included: http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/ for web access - or if everyone has a local password you can just give apache read access to the /etc/shadow file. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
