Hello, I thought I had limiting of machine access working, until I started encrypting the passwords. I am using the following in my /etc/ldap.conf file on the client machine that I want to limit access to: # Filter to AND with uid=%s pam_filter &(objectclass=account) (host=amitri.iw.mcld.net) If the user's password is clear text, I see this test in the /var/log/ldap.log as I'm trying to log in: Oct 5 08:21:53 avalanche slapd[31216]: conn=809 op=1 SRCH base="DC=MCLD,DC=NET" scope=2 filter="(&(&(objectclass=ACCOUNT)(host=AMITRI.IW.MCLD.NET))(uid=KELLI))" If the password is encrypted, I never see this test in the log file and the user can log into the box even though they're not allowed. It appears that if the password is encrypted, the filter isn't used. That strikes me as odd. Any thoughts would be great! Kelli
