Paul, You can do few things to debug... * Check the server log to see what happens... * Do the same with ldapsearch and see if you get results. Ex. ldapsearch -h myhost -p 389 -b "dc=example, dc=com" "objectclass=posixgroup" etc... * Check /etc/nsswitch.conf to make sure the 'ldap' is included in the search order (if you use authconfig on Linux it will set it for you). -Satish.
