Hi, I am trying to get password expiration to work on FC5/FDS 1.0.2 and having mixed results. I have set a user's shadowAccount attributes as expired using the following values (with today being 13452): shadowFlag: 0 shadowExpire: -1 shadowInactive: -1 shadowWarning: 0 shadowMax: 1 shadowMin: 1 shadowLastChange: 13452 All seems well when I log in. You are required to change your LDAP password immediately. Last login: Wed Nov 1 07:51:14 2006 from lin1000 WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Changing password for user fjones. Enter login(LDAP) password: New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: LDAP password information changed for fjones passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. Connection to lin2600 closed. Except I get booted off and this is the /var/log/secure Nov 1 07:55:18 lin2600 passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): user "fjones" does not exist in /etc/passwd Nov 1 07:55:29 lin2600 passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): user "fjones" does not exist in /etc/passwd Nov 1 07:55:29 lin2600 sshd[17557]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user fjones Attempts to log in again accept the new password, which has changed in LDAP, but I am asked to go through the same loop of changing the password again. The shadow* attributes are NOT changed however. So that's either my culprit or maybe the PAM password entries are not right. That looks like this: password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password sufficient pam_ldap.so use_authtok password required pam_deny.so Finally, at the end of this document: (http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:PAM) It says to add the following to enable password expirations. dn: cn=config changetype: modify add: passwordExp passwordExp: on - add: passwordMaxAge passwordMaxAge: 8640000 But my other tests seem to indicate some parts of expiration in fact work. Is the above entry neccessary? Thanks so much. -- - Kyle --------------------------------------------- kylet@xxxxxxxxx http://www.panix.com/~kylet --------------------------------------------- -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
