Hi.
I'm currently integrating 10 iMacs in an existing Linux computer pool
for our students at the University of Konstanz.
There we have an LDAP Server for authentication, no AD, no NFS/AFP.
Authentication on OS X with LDAP works fine but I have a little
problem with the homedirectories.
Our sysadmins want me to mount the users home dir via sshfs to the
mac. So far, no problem. Sshfs works on OS X. But we need to mount the
homedir at login time (with the password).
On linux I can do this via a PAM module: pam-mount.
I managed to get the module working on OS X (it was is little bit
tricky, because the module wasn't ever tested on OS X. I had to change
a little bit of the c++ code until it worked properly)
Now I can automount/unmount the users homedir when I login/logout on
the iMacs via ssh/terminal.
The problem is:
Loginwindow doesn't seems to use PAM.
There has been an plugin for loginwindow to enable PAM in the past but
was removed from opensource.apple.com
Does any of you know how to get this working?
Or has anyone an other solution for my problem?
Best regards
Patrice Brend'amour
