In the same game, recently I setup a computer using pam-pgsql, aka auth ove=
r=20
postgres table, and finally to have a unique account base, postgres=20
authentify its user using pam, then pam back to postgres.

The thing to avoid if of course a chicken-egg problem, aka pam needing to=20
authentify itself on postgres to access to table.

The Frederic's situation isn't this one: it try to find the hostname (of=20
another one), not in /etc/hosts, no dns availlable (no network), try ldap, =
to=20
find ldap host, try /etc/hosts, not in hosts, no dns, try ldap, try to find=
=20
ldap host, etc... then endless loop.

Just an idea...
