There is no distinction with PAM between local and remote accounts. When we initiate a login attempt we just ask PAM for access, and that may check locally or remotely or do anything the system administrator has determined (e.g. accounts can be locked at certain times).
As we don't know what the sysadmin has chosen, we let them switch the greeter to manual mode and just have a text entry for username. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844044 Title: Unity Greeter - Add Network Login option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/844044/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
