I'd already tried removing 'ldap' from every active line in nsswitch.conf, commented-out the active lines in the ldap.conf file and changed the rc5.d entry S95saslauthd to K95saslauthd. In other words, I'd thrashed about a little bit w/o success.
Logging on single-user worked, though I hadn't thought about trying that until today.
And 'authconfig --disableldapauth --disableldap --enableshadow' surprised me by bringing up a DOS-style GUI. The result of using authconfig was just what I needed. I can login multi- user under RH9, now.
Again, thanks to you and Justin for your responses.
IDH, Doug

enabling LDAP and SASL and somehow changing login authentication to use these.
Can someone take pity on a poor idiot and tell me what files on the RH9 partition I can modify to revert to simple shadow password file authentication for logins?
I can boot RH8 under another partition and mount the RH9 partition for access.
Did anyone reply? Well, here's my Friday the 13th $0.02 to try to help you:
Edit (as root) your file /etc/nsswitch.conf. You will probably have:
passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap
Remove the 'ldap' references from everywhere, and you should be fine!
(as an alternative, you could use the 'authconfig' tool, and uncheck the "Use LDAP" box. I haven't tried this, but I have used authconfig to _enable_ LDAP).
HTH, -Gord
