Hi list, I thought my /etc/pam.d/sshd was working fine until I noticed that if the ldap service goes down I can't no longer login on a ldap client server via ssh using a local account (NOT LDAP USER). Any idea why? The local accounts work fine when ldap service is running. However, they should be independent of each other. ** The local accounts are not in the ldap database ** Here is my /etc/pam.d/sshd file: #%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 [module_unknown=ignore default=die success=done user_unknown=ignore system_err=ignore service_err=ignore ] /lib/security/pam_ldap.so debug 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 Thanks, Martin _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
