Hi I have used the setup tool provded with redhat to use ldap for system authentication. I can see that it correctly modified my /etc/pam* files and authentication over ssh works against the ldap database. I have allowed root to ssh in and that account does not exist in my ldap database but I guess it falls back to /etc/passwd as specified in /etc/nsswitch.conf My problem is that when I shut ldap down the authentication fails entirely, instead of just reading the /etc/passwd file. Does anyone know what config options I must set in order to allow the system to read the /etc/passwd file if ldap is down ? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
