I don't have pam configured on my SuSE 10.1 server to use kerberos but I have setup nsswitch.conf for ldap which I've been trying to configure. When I try to login on the console it works. I configured kerberos client in YaST but I don't see how this is working When I "grep -i krb *" in the pam.d directory it shows no pam_krb5.so but how is it that I'm still able to login with kerberos + ldap...I can even change my passwd for the kerberos accounts.

Ok so I guess I should have done some more poking around before posting. But it seems that pam_unix2 uses the glibc NSS libraries for account information and authentication. There is a configuration file it uses in /etc/security/pam_unix2.conf which contains.

auth: use_krb5
account: use_krb5
password: use_krb5
session: none

It was really throwing me off at first...
