I¹ve google and searched, and have had very little luck...
I have:
1. Installed all the packages. 2. Configured and have running OpenLDAP. 3. Migrated my passwd/shadow/group/hosts files into the directory 4. Tested the directory using ldapsearch 5. Installed LAM (web interface to LDAP authentication) 6. Added a user using LAM. 7. Confirmed user is in directory. 8. Confirmed user is not in /etc/passwd 9. Confirmed using ³getent passwd | grep username² that the user is listed. 10. Confirmed using ³getent passwd² shows two records for each user except ldap-only users (one for /etc/passwd, one for LDAP).
However,
³id username²
Returns unknown user
And trying to log in as username at either the terminal or ssh fails, and upon examining the logs, the error message says unknown user.
I configured /etc/pam.d/system-auth using authcongfig-tui, adding only the pam_mkhomedir.so line (and I tried it without that line as well).
Everything seems right but its not working. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to where I should be looking? If necessary, I¹ll post my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and /etc/nsswitch.conf files I just didn¹t want to send them if not necessary.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
