[Fedora-directory-users] Changes to passthru plugin from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4

All,
  We are currently running our production servers with FDS 1.0.2 on RHEL4 
with the PAM passthru plugin enabled. I'm trying to set up a new 1.0.4 
server so we can replicate the production databases over to it and then 
upgrade the older boxes in place.

  I know that the PAM passthru plugin was included with the distro as of 
1.0.3 (yay!), but it appears to have undergone some changes. When I try to 
turn it on, the error log gives:

passthru-plugin - no pass through servers found in configuration (at least 
one must be listed)

Reading the online Admin Guide about configuring the plugin seems to be 
referring to it being used for passing off auth from one ldap server to 
another, not for passing through to PAM.

I looked at the dse.ldif from the 1.0.2 server and tried just adding the 
pamConfig objectclass to the plugin object on the 1.0.4 server and adding 
in the appropriate attributes, but I still get the same error on startup.

Is there any other documentation other than the Admn Guide on setting up 
and using the plugin in a post-1.0.2 server? Or can anyone who's set this 
up offer any tips?

Thanks,
  -paul
