Hi all, I'm back to debugging my telnet not working with LDAP problem. We're using RedHat 6.2, OpenLDAP 1.2.10, pam_ldap-70, nss_ldap-113. When I attempt to telnet from machine bb to aa, /var/log/messages on the client machine (aa) looks like telnet is working, the session is opened and the messages look the same as if I was logging in at the console. Except the exit status 1 happens immediately and I get "Connection closed by foreign host." Looking into the code for pam_pwdb, the function opening the connection (pam_sm_open_session) has to be returning success. So, I'm looking for what initially calls pam_sm_open_session. Is it called directly from inetd? I'm trying to understand how PAM gets integrated into the OS. Thank you for any direction you can offer, Kelli ------------- Supporting material: I can login with an LDAP account or a system account at the console. I cannot telnet with either account. /aa//var/log/messages Sep 22 14:00:47 aa login: exiting pam_sm_acct_mgmt 0 Sep 22 14:00:47 aa PAM_pwdb[9139]: (login) session opened for user josie by (uid=0) Sep 22 14:00:47 aa inetd[472]: pid 9138: exit status 1 /aa//etc/pam.d/login looks like this: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow use_first_pass account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_authtok md5 password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow md5 use_authtok use_first_pass session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
