Hi all,
I've included most of Thomas' notes in the url below. There's a question
still about how authentication works/doesn't work if pam passes
authentication off to an ldap server etc. Anyone got any experience here?

Well, there is an open issue: integrating authentication against external
services like ldap, smb, etc. as Harald wrote.

I don't have any spare time to check this out. Maybe somebody asks this on
the Netatalk-devel lists whether there is a way to combine the pam uam with
dhx authentication. This would improve things much.
