Your ldapsearch and getent look fine. Do you have anything for shadow in your nsswitch.conf? For the pam stuff, start by looking at your system-auth file. This is how it looks on a RH9 box as configured by authconfig: #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore system_err=ignore] /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type= password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_authtok password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so session optional /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steven D.

Those authconfig files were bothering me. Ok, I did an ldapsearch and getent and they work fine (from what I can tell).

Also I tried logging in on virtual consoles with no luck (only root works). = ( You said that if ldapsearch and getent work then I should focus on pam.... how would I go about testing pam?
