Hi list, I would like to know whether anybody has succeeded in using the memberof overlay for others attributes. I would like a user entry (specifically the host attribute) to be populated when a user is added to a posixGroup. Let's say this posixGroup contains a "hostOfGroup" attribute. Is it feasible? Or do I need to code my own overlay for that purpose? If writing an overlay is not needed, is there an esaier way to do that?

Sounds like there may be other solutions to your real problem ... e.g. pam_listfile with item=group sense=allow

If not, could you please provide some more details on the configuration for that overlay that could suit my need?
