I'm really sorry to email you without a solution but I'm in hysterics here, I have a friend called Paul Fell and your Ben Falls. Clumsy name;)))) -----Original Message----- From: pam-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:pam-list-admin@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Ben Falls Sent: 02 December 2002 16:41 To: pam-list@redhat.com Subject: LDAP Client Configs I am attempting to set up LDAP authentication on a LINUX box, the LDAP server is already set up and being used for Windows logins. I have gotten the LINUX (RH 7.3) config so that it does connect to the LDAP server, however, I still have a couple of issues. 1) It seems that I must have a local account on the LINUX box that matches the LDAP account name. Is this normal? 2) When I do connect, it does authenticate to LDAP, however if I change my password at the command prompt, it changes it in the OS not in LDAP (except for the very first login). At that point I can login using either my LDAP or system password. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
