Hi, guys. I finally got the solaris box to talk to the FDS (thank you all for your help). I'm now having a problem where I can't telnet/ssh from another machine. On the client, I have this: bash-2.03# ldaplist -l passwd testdba dn: uid=testdba,ou=People, dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com givenName: oracle sn: user loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 10001 gidNumber: 7000 objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowaccount uid: testdba cn: oracle user homeDirectory: /home/testdba bash-2.03# The ACIs (in addition to the default ones): Bind Password: dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com aci=(targetattr = "cn||uid||uidNumber||gidNumber||homeDirectory||shadowLastChange||shadowMin||shadowMax||shadowWarning| |shadowInactive||shadowExpire||shadowFlag||memberUid" )(version 3.0; acl LDAP_Naming_Services_deny_write_access;deny (write) userdn = "ldap: ///self";) aci=(target="ldap:///dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com")(targetattr="userPassword")(version 3.0; acl LDAP_Naming_Services_proxy_password_read; allow (compare,search) userdn = " ldap:///cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com";) There's nothing in the /var/adm/messages. My pam.conf [snipped] is this: # login service (explicit because of pam_dial_auth) # login auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1 login auth required pam_dhkeys.so.1 login auth sufficient pam_unix_auth.so.1 login auth required pam_ldap.so.1 try_first_pass login auth required pam_dial_auth.so.1 #ssh sshd auth sufficient /usr/lib/security/pam_ldap.so.1 sshd auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 use_first_pass --- The userPassword field is not displayed when I do ldaplist. Is that normal? Even when I do this: /usr/bin/ldapsearch -D "cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com" -h cnyitlin02 -b dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com objectclass=\* uid=testdba,ou=People, dc=composers,dc=foo,dc=com givenName=oracle sn=user loginShell=/bin/bash uidNumber=10001 gidNumber=7000 objectClass=top objectClass=person objectClass=organizationalPerson objectClass=inetorgperson objectClass=posixAccount objectClass=shadowaccount uid=testdba cn=oracle user homeDirectory=/home/testdba How can I go about troubleshooting this? ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
