Thanks for the response... I have tried authconfig and authconfig-gtk, however they did not work. In fact when I tried to log on after using those programs I could not log in as root, nor any users. I noticed that authconfig modified some of the LDAP config files, I believe it was /etc/pam.d/system-auth. I simply copied back my original config files, which is /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/autofs/auto.master, /etc/ssl/certs/eeca.pem, and /etc/pam.d/system-auth. With those files back to my setting I can once log on as root. Hmm, what files does authconfig modify? Maybe I can modify them by hand (through vi).

Haughton Sent: Thu 7/1/2004 5:56 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Cant authenticate to LDAP domain with Redhat9 Hi, I'm new to ldap and fairly new to linux as well so bare with me..... I've recently installed Red Hat 9 over Gentoo due to some commerical software support. My problem is that I can not get Red Hat to authenticate to the ldap domain. Here is the current ldap software I have installed: [root@hostname root]# rpm -qa | grep ldap openldap-2.0.27-8 openldap-clients-2.0.27-8 nss_ldap-202-5 openldap-devel-2.0.27-8 openldap-servers-2.0.27-8 php-ldap-4.2.2-17.2 Here is current openssl: [root@hostname root]# rpm -qa | grep openssl openssl-0.9.7a-20.2 openssl-perl-0.9.7a-20.2 openssl096b-0.9.6b-15 openssl-devel-0.9.7a-20.2 openssl096-0.9.6-25.9 I also have autofs installed and running. I have copied the exact files for /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/pam.d/system_auth, and /etc/ssl/certs/eeca.pem, and /etc/autofs/auto.master which work on other linux computers (Mainly Gentoo.... and 2 redhat9 computers). I also copied ldap.conf into /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and copied /etc/autofs/auto.master to /etc/auto.master. So my config files must be correct if they work on other computers... Leaving me to believe that there must be extra config files on Redhat that I must setup. I took out the hostname and domain names in the following test. Test: [root@"hostname" root]# ssh -ltestuser "hostname" testuser@"hostname's" password: Permission denied, please try again. Log file: sshd(pam_unix)[14275]: check pass; user unknown sshd(pam_unix)[14275]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost="hostname"."**"."***".edu sshd(pam_unix)[14275]: check pass; user unknown sshd(pam_unix)[14275]: 1 more authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost="hostname"."**"."***".edu Any Ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thanks. Also here is some more info on the problem. When I run ldapsearch i get this... [root@blochEE root]# ldapsearch -x -b "dc=ee,dc=ucr,dc=edu" uid=grad-adm version: 2 # # filter: uid=grad-adm # requesting: ALL # # grad-adm, People, ee, ucr, edu dn: uid=grad-adm,ou=People,dc=ee,dc=ucr,dc=edu uid: grad-adm cn: Graduate Affairs sn: Affairs mail: grad-adm@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:grad-adm@xxxxxxxxxx> labeledURI: http://www.ee.ucr.edu/~grad-adm <http://www.ee.ucr.edu/%7Egrad-adm> objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass: shadowAccount loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 30501 gidNumber: 402 homeDirectory: /home/eemisc/grad-adm gecos: Graduate Affairs # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 [root@blochEE root]# And when I get this running getent: [root@blochEE root]# getent passwd grad-adm grad-adm:x:30501:402:Graduate Affairs:/home/eemisc/grad-adm:/bin/bash [root@blochEE root]# From my understandings it looks like the client can communicate ok with the server, so I am at a loss as to why I can not login using users on the ldap server? If you need any more info. please let me know and I'll be happy to provide it. Any responses will be most appreciated.
