Never symlink the pam/nss_ldap config files with the OpenLDAP libldap config file. There's a reason all of these things are in separate config files - they each have distinct syntaxes. You don't know what you're doing, and you have no guarantees that any particular version of a given library won't barf all over the keywords it doesn't recognize. > There may well be an official method to setup Debian but I have not been > able to locate one via Google. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
