[I'm not subscribed to this list, so please put me on CC, thanks] I've setup a couple of debian servers, acting as PDC/BDC with samba, and using smbldap-tools, openldap, and clearly libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap. I've a dozen of similar setup around, and i've no other trouble at all. Some versions: ii libnss-ldap 238-1 NSS module for using LDAP as a naming servic ii libpam-ldap 178-1sarge1 Pluggable Authentication Module allowing LDA ii slapd 2.2.23-8 OpenLDAP server (slapd) ii ppp 2.4.3-20050321 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon In this box i've setup Hylafax, mgetty and ppp to act as fax server, and dialin server for modem client. If i try the right password i got: Jul 13 10:36:55 marta pppd[28591]: PAM no modules loaded for `ppp' service Jul 13 10:36:55 marta pppd[28591]: PAP peer authentication failed for massimo and if i intentionally put wrong password: Jul 13 10:35:30 marta pppd[28509]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "uid=massimo,ou=People,dc=cn,dc=lnf,dc=it" (Invalid credentials) Jul 13 10:35:30 marta pppd[28509]: PAP peer authentication failed for massimo so seems that the underlying pam layer work, but still something misses. Note that the same server authenticate correctly services as ssh, postgres, cups, dovecot, ... and i've not touched any file in /etc/pam.d/*, apart adding to default-* ones what sayed on /usr/share/doc/libpam-ldap/README.Debian . Before starting to tackle with /etc/pam.d/ppp, probably in random way ;), have something to say to me? Many thanks. -- dott.
