Bill -- Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file and make sure that the lines for passwd and groups have "ldap" in addition to files and whatever else may be there (nis, nisplus, etc). Then try the getent passwd and it should work properly. Also, you might want to also read up on the pam module pam_mkhomedir.so. Automatically creates a user's home directory upon login if it does not already exist. It's included with standard Linux-PAM. chris On Fri, 15 Feb 2002 14:29:14 -0800 PAM Shared IMAP Folder <post+pam@macallister.grass-valley.ca.us> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to get pam_ldap and nss_ldap working on my Redhat 7.1 system. > From what I can tell I have done what is required, but obviously I am > unclear on what that is since it only sort of works.
