pluggable authentication modules...that's what linux and, to a lesser extent, solaris use. basically, the os authenticates to pam, which (as the name suggests) has methods that plug into it. these methods can be "required" or "sufficient". for instance, i can require you to either have BOTH a password locally and a password in ldap, OR just a biometric method. you can stack the methods. at that point the os doesn't care how you really authenticate.

if you're running 5.2, there is pam for aix now. what i did on my 4.3.3
systems was write a perl script to populate my map sources from ldap and
just authenticate via nis on the boxes that wouldn't do ldap. but it was
all backed by ldap

We are an NIS shop. Want to authenticate users via LDAP now rather than
the NIS password maps. We have a LDAP server. It is presently RedHat 9
running OpenLDAP.
Can I have users logging into AIX systems (local and remotely) using LDAP
as their only auth. method?
How do I do that? What do I switch?
If there are users who are not in the LDAP system, can I still auth those
via a much smaller NIS password map?
Thanks,
