1. Seeking alternative to Linux passwds

I've got a Linux box that is connected to a Novell server-based
ethernet, and I have a password problem.  Our Novell file server
is set up to force users to change passwords every 30 days.  On
the Linux box, each user has yet another password, which they
*also* have to change (30 days is company CIS policy).  This is
an annoyance, at best.

I know that you can set up a secondary user authentication program
to be used by linux during login, in lieu of the normal linux
password.. ('usermod -A method login').  What I'd like to do is
set up a program that would let the Novell file-server authenticate
the user/password.  That way, users would only have one password
to change.

Does anyone know of such a utility?  Are there any bit security
pitfalls I should look out for in trying to implement this?
