Title: RE: AIX authentification

quite right.  it uses struct secmethod_table.  padl.com has some support for this on aix4.3.3 through its nss module, and ive got my own one ive been using for auth to openldap, or iplanet...

i was testing the ibm client they were developing to talk to non-secureway servers but it wasnt very good (that was almost a year ago).

True, but AIX 4.x includes its own scheme for dynamically loaded authentication modules which is

much simpler than PAM.

please note that aix versions 4.x and lower do not support pam.  pam can be built for aix 4, but it isnt fun and i wouldnt use it for system auth.

I posted a guide to LDAP authentication a while ago.  It covers
authenticating web access and UNIX login,  It should apply to AIX, you just
need the appropriate PAM software.
