I am trying to set up LDAP authentication for CentOS workstations, but can't get it to authenticate properly. Authentication fails saying the account has expired when I know for certain that it has not (e.g. ldapsearch authenticated with the appropriate uid and password returns shadowLastChange 14816 and shadowMax 99999).
Well, I'm just going to spam my own page. Give it a gander, and see if following it from the get go works.
Note the link to the forum thread in it--it's possible, though not proven, that CentOS (probably RH) *might* have broken ldap.

All I can say is that it works for me, but--and it's probably an important but--I haven't set it up from scratch on CentOS 5.5 yet.
Thanks. I have to go to a client site this afternoon to do some fire-stomping, and will take a look at this when I get back. A quick scan, and looks like it covers all the bases.
