Followup on my own post... Two things I forgot to add: using Webmin, *it* thinks that the RHEL3 box is configured to use LDAP, but when I hit the validate configuration under LDAP clients, it says everything is hunky-dory... except it can't find a valid user. Meanwhile, using the search ldap option of Webmin, and using ldapsearch, I can find entries under People, and all have posixAccounts, etc. mark ----- Original Message ----- From: mroth@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, September 25, 2006 2:01 pm Subject: RHEL3, RHEL4, openssh and openldap To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Hi, folks, > > Well, after weeks of fighting, I got openldap working, including > automounting home directories... but that was between two RHEL4 > boxen.
