Windows auth with PAM but not for root

[Domenico Viggiani]

Hi,
I'm using pam_ntlm module to authenticate HP-UX users against a Windows domain controller.
All works well but I'd like to skip NT authentication for 'root'.
Is there a method to setup pam.conf in order to use only 'passwd' auth for root?

Thanks in advance

You should be able to configure this by setting up the /etc/pam_user.conf configuration file, which allows you to specify PAM modules on a user by user basis. Have a read of the pam_user.conf(4) man page for further information.
