Hello,
   I'm trying to set up centos 5.1 to authenticate against an openldap
server. I've got the authentication working, in that i can log in as a user
contained within the ldap database but not in the system passwd/group files.
The problem is instead of a prompt that for example looks like this:

(username)@hostname:~/$

i'm getting this:

(I have no name)@hostname:~/$

   Aside from this everything works, i can finger, use id, etc. It's
annoying and i'm thinking it might be a symptom of a misconfiguration. Any
suggestions?
Thanks.
Dave.

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)
