How do I...?

He meant the post you got a couple of days ago regarding
the permit module.

The interesting thing now is that you mention NFS on 
your PXE boot.  Have you tried changing the PAM on
the Server, rather than the PXE Client, image?  This
would be the thing that would stop the local init .. the
kernel/init bails when it can't find a file system .. if 
you can't auth to your NFS share then you'd be set for
failure.


FWIW your requirements still sound screwy.  In the
6Mbyte distro that I built (that boots out its own PXE 
children);  I let it build a fully meshed SSH network 
by dynamically sharing the public SSH keys (as 
generated on each boot) via my own daemon.  This
would give you exactly what you want (without 
breaking PAM).

But then, I don't think this is your problem; check your
NFS setup - particularly at the head-end.
