Attempting to elminate authentication failure messages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,
I'm using fds for authentication; /etc/nsswitch.conf is configured to
first query the ldap server and then local files for user information;
I'm not sure why, however for some reason whenever a user attempts to
authenticate to the box with a password, the box always reports in
/var/log/messages an authentication failure, followed by a success (the
success of course if only the user did in fact type their password
correctly; in the excerpt below, I did not mistype my password; I would
have expected that by configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf to first query the
ldap server and then local files would have eliminated the misleading
authentication messages...any ideas?  Thanks very much
