Hi, folks, Well, after weeks of fighting, I got openldap working, including automounting home directories... but that was between two RHEL4 boxen. I have an RHEL3 box (and no, I don't look to get permission to upgrade it soon), and I've tried everything, but it seems as though openssh is not going through PAM to call ldap. On RHEL4, /var/log/secure tells me it hit LDAP; while on the RHEL3 box, I see nothing, other than password failed for <username>. The RHEL4 are running openssh 3.9.p1-8, pam 0.77-65, and openldap 2.2.13-2, and the server's on one of them. The RHEL3 box has openssh 3.6.1p2, pam 0.75-67, and openldap 2.0.27 (core, -22, clients, -17). I've tried running ssh -vvv to get there, and it tells me nothing useful, and I've also tried running strace right after attempting to log on, and the things that make me nervous are a reference to trying to open nsswitch.conf, and "... an ex" in the text with it, and then it seems to be printing out what you'd get with -?. Are there any known interoperability issues? Is the version of openssh I'm using *really* PAM-enabled?
