I have nss-mysql running and users in my MySQL db can log in. The problem I am having is that there appears to be no support for the account managment utils such as passwd, chfn, chsh etc... Does anyone have a way I can get these utils to update the user profile in MySQL using nsswitch or pam? Or will I have to write my own?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You cannot use thoses utils because the possibity to write in the
database has not been implemented. But, I think it is not possible
to do this via NSS.
I will think about this, when we'll have a stable "read" support.
(This is not that far, the CVS version rocks :) )
