Re: [CentOS] centos authentication via ldap produces no name shell prompt

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:~/$

set the prompt with something like PS1="(\u)@\h: \W$ "

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?

make sure the right shell is returned.
