PAM Server Control
performs name resolution on a client-only NIS or DNS station (which is not its own server) as follows:
  1. PAM Server Control
     generates a network request to connect to the relevant server.
  2. The 
    PAM Server Control
    kernel extension intercepts the request.
  3. The 
    PAM Server Control
    kernel extension permits the request because it knows that the request was made internally.
  4. A connection to the NIS or the DNS server is established and the information necessary for name resolution is retrieved.
  5. Once the name is resolved, 
    PAM Server Control
    continues the process of deciding whether to permit or deny the original access request.
A standard 
PAM Server Control
configuration is sufficient to handle name resolution on a client server.
