Hi, all. I've been battling this for days now, with no luck. I've got fds up & running and linux clients authenticating w/o problems. Solaris has so far been a royal pain. This is what I've done so far: - imported the 2 schemas that a kind soul sent me (dua & nis) - added the nisDomain object - added a few users to test - copied the ldap_file & ldap_cred files from Gary Tay's site - added a default simple profile - ran ldap-genprofile to get the NS1 password, put it in the cred file. - added ldap to the nsswitch.conf Yet the solaris box doesn't see the ldap server. In the dmesg, I see this: Aug 24 09:16:34 unknown getent[1506]: [ID 293258 user.error] libsldap: Status: 7 Mesg: Session error no available conn. Aug 24 09:18:07 unknown nscd[1498]: [ID 293258 user.error] libsldap: Status: 7 Mesg: Session error no available conn. Aug 24 09:18:07 unknown nscd[1498]: [ID 293258 user.error] libsldap: Status: 7 Mesg: Session error no available conn. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'm about to start kicking the solaris server... ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
