I think this bug has been around for a long time, and I can't recall the exact genesis of it, but it appears to be a bug in GDM. For some reason it can't authenticate to LDAP unless SSL is turned on. I recall seeing it in a Red Hat bugzilla list some time back but nobody seemed interested in pursuing it. I've tried searching for it again there recently but there are a lot of bugs reported on that system and the search tools aren't great. It does periodically recurr on bugzilla, e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196297 KDM is probably a better choice. -- Del Babel Com Australia http://www.babel.com.au/ ph: 02 9368 0728 fax: 02 9368 0758
