Quoting Craig White craigwhite@azapple.com:
Yes, I agree, it makes no sense to operate a machine with ldap accounts if it has no network connection, but at least one should be able to log in as root. To clarify, here's the problem: I have a machine. In normal operation, the network connection is non-functional and LDAP accounts are usable and everyone does their thing over ssh. If the network connection craps out, I can get into the machine via serial console and try to find out what's going on, perhaps switch to a different network connection, whatever. If I can't log in as root, my only recourse is to powercycle the machine and go into single-user mode. Now, multiply that by 100. This is why I need to get this working.
Since you have now restated the problem, could you possibly edit your replies so as not to repeat the entire thread every time?
Thanks.
