I have a couple of boxes here that I've configured to allow ssh log-ins over LDAP. They seem to be identically configured to other boxes that work fine, yet when a user tries to log in, the following error is logged: Apr 19 15:46:21 irc1sj sshd[7466]: PAM pam_set_item: NULL pam handle passed Apr 19 15:46:21 irc1sj sshd[7466]: Failed password for illegal user shelby from 10.160.71.254 port 1016 The password and user are known to be good. /etc/pam.d/sshd looks like this: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so auth required /lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so try_first_pass account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass session required /lib/security/pam_unix_session.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so debug An ldapsearch from the box works fine, so there's no issue with contacting the LDAP server itself. I'm running nss_ldap 122 and pam_ldap 77 on this box; not the newest versions, but they work fine on other systems I have built. Does anyone have any ideas?
