Re: Double password prompt

We had this problem about 6 months ago and I really wish I could remember
what I did (searching through my engineering notebooks is a nightmare).
We did a few things, though. We added the portmaster to the
/etc/hosts.equiv file. We also removed all the users from the users
table on the PM and allowed RADIUS to do all authentication. We also
tried using "UNIX" as the password to let the challenge to to
/etc/passwd, I believe. I eventually moved over to putting passwords in
the RADIUS users file. Also, if you are still using a users table
you will want to check the Pass-Thru Login field to determine
whether the host will authenticate or RADIUS. Here's an example entry I
have for a shell user.

shelluser Password = "blahblah"
User-Service-Type = Login-User,
Login-Host = 204.68.227.1,
Login-Service = PortMaster

Again, I don't know if this will help you. Hell, I'm not 100% sure this
is *all* we did, but maybe it'll help you kick the can a bit further. I
think I've come to realize that it's not *how* the bear dances, but that
the bear dances at all.

Good luck.

Regards,

Barry
