Hi,
Nigel:
"Look for pam_check_host_attr, pam_groupdn and pam_member_attribute."
These 3 attributes in /etc/ldap.conf are commented out with a #, hence I do not think they are causing the problem.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that's right, they need to be enabled to have any effect.
Can you determine if the system is actually making requests of the LDAP server
when a login is attempted? The normal way that authentication is validated is
for pam_ldap to attempt to bind to the LDAP server as the user in question,
using the supplied password. If the LDAP server isn't configured to allow this
type of authentication it will obviously fail.
Is the connection to the LDAP server using SSL? If not, you could use a packet
sniffer such as ethereal to capture the packets to the ldap port, and see
One thing has just occurred to me. Does the users home directory exists? IIRC,
I've seen "permission denied" when the home directory does not exist.

The /etc/pam.d/system-auth is attached below. Apologize that I do not know what to look for in this file. Thanks for your advise.

This is my system-auth, genereated on RHAS 4, which works for authentication
against an openldap server:
