After reading to many pages on screen and on dead wood, asking (with no results) on forums, never receiving sign-up confirmation for the padl.com pamldap list, getting my post rejected at other LDAP mailing lists, and generally banging my head against the monitor for way to much time, i am hoping for a merciful harbor here. Please? If for nothing else, to save the forests from my printer? I am trying to set up a login-system based on LDAP - with a Debian (sarge) box as LDAP (and NFS) server, and Fedora Core 3 machines as clients. So far, no luck. (not for 2 months...). After finally getting the server to *start*, and adding what i (think is) an appropriate directory basic layout using phpldapadmin (running on an apache server on the same box), i still can't login. If i try to login (using su - *username*) from root, all i get is "user does not exist". I know the client is okay - if i direct it to an (older) ldap-running box, it works mountainously. I have a structure where all the user accounts are put in ou=People,dc=valler,dc=vgs,dc=no (as "PosixAccount" and "PosixGroup" according to phpldapadmin). This does work on the before mentioned box (if i have "copied" the setup right using gq to read it, and phpldapadmin to edit the new servers directory.) If i try to connect to the server using directory administrator, I can see all users/groups. Trying to change the user password gives an error, and if i try to create a new user i get "object class violation". Anybody who can help me? I am quite inexperienced when it comes to LDAP, and does now think i have spent way to many hours reading dead threes/on screen documentation of varying quality and relevance. I shall post any material you ask for. Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk
