What you need is PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module), a layer between the application (in your case *dm) and the underlying authentication system. Depending on the authentication[0] required, you use the suitable module. PAM modules reside under /lib/security, there's no kerberos module included in the libpam-modules package but I'm sure you can find one (tip: search in freshmeat.net) For how to configure applications for authentication methods, consult the files under /etc/pam.d Further info can be found in pam.d man page and pam-doc package (apt-get install pam-doc) [0] PAM can also be used for authorization and/or accounting rgds -- Serafim Zanikolas Proud of running http://www.it.teithe.gr/~serzan Debian GNU/Linux
