In an earlier article I wrote: >I'd appreciate it if I could get a pointer to the solution to a >problem that _must_ have been solved already: systems employing the >/etc/shadow file for password storage fail to authenticate >prospective pcnfsd users. Well, Geoff Arnold (geoff@East.Sun.COM) was kind enough to send me source for a "shadow-aware" version of the pcnfsd authentication daemon. It took a little bit of work (_very_ little if _I_ could do it) to get it running. I've returned a copy of the program as I compiled it to Geoff. Basically I had to work around some include files I couldn't find, minor difference in mknod/stat, and other minor things. The changes are #ifdef'd in (the code Geoff sent already looked for _some_ ISC 2.0 differences, do that was easy enough.) I can now use my ISC 2.0.2 machine as an authentication server for our PC-NFS machines. Thanks, Geoff! kEITHe
