     That won't do the trick.  PAM only answers the question of whether
or not somebody is allowed to login (i.e. entered the correct password,
inserted the correct smart card, etc.) or do some other task.  It
doesn't answer questions like what is the person's UID, where is their
home directory located, etc.  For these questions, you need an nss
module.  Luke was working on making it possible to dynamically load nss
modules, but I don't know how far he got.
