<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks for your reply. I looked
at permissions on the nss_* and ldap* and slapd.conf files, they are all
644.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> This issue may be related maybe
not. Upon starting slapd i'm seeing this in my log:</FONT></DIV>

I'm trying to set up centos 5.1 to authenticate against an
openldap<BR>server. I've got the authentication working, in that i can log
in as a user<BR>contained within the ldap database but not in the system
passwd/group files. <BR>The problem is instead of a prompt that for example
looks like this:<BR><BR>(username)@hostname:~/$<BR><BR>i'm getting
this:<BR><BR>(I have no name)@hostname:~/$<BR><BR> Aside from
this everything works, i can finger, use id, etc. It's <BR>annoying and i'm
thinking it might be a symptom of a misconfiguration.
Any<BR>suggestions?<BR>Thanks.<BR>Dave.<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>CentOS

clear=all>I allso experienced this with CentOS4.4, then I got i because of
some missconfiguration with the LDAP. If I remember correctly is was coz of
some permission was failling on some ldap configuration files
(/etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/slapd.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf,
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf) <BR><BR><BR>Tronn
