Hi Ashley, Thanks for your docs, but how about directory listing? when root log in and doing command "ls -al" on home folder is showing user name, group and folder. But only user name is show correctly but the group is only gid. ---- drwxr-xr-x 4 JWilliam 10001 4096 Jun 4 14:56 JWilliam --- Regards, Diwa On 6/13/07, ashley <ashley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Normal users don't have the necessary permissions to do the lookup on LDAP. The authentication process is done usally by root then when you are logged in you can't do lookups. I've documented this here http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~ashley/fedora-ds/fedora-ds-26072006.html In Section 3.3 Binding Linux/Unix Machines to LDAPs (way at the bottom) Short story is turn on NSCD, this service binds as root but caches the information for the local user. Usually information you should cache is passwd, group and aliases information which you have to edit /etc/nscd.conf You might want to check this out for NSCD http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~ashley/fedora-ds/Fedora%20Miscellaneous%20Problems-23082006.htm Regards Ashley
