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.

make sure the right shell is returned.
Hello, Thanks for your reply. Do you have this working? I have set the prompt in my local .bashrc file the PS1 option to '\u@\h:\w$' and confirmed with id and finger that the correct shell is being returned. 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)

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I looked at permissions on the nss_* and ldap* and slapd.conf files, they are all 644. This issue may be related maybe not. Upon starting slapd i'm seeing this in my log:
Jan 20 23:23:41 ldap slapd[3697]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable
yet as i say i can log in, only the username part of the prompt is unavailable. Again checking PS1 it is set properly. Thanks. Dave.

Hi
Yes i use it with samba as pdc. My /etc/ldap.conf look like this
host localhost base dc=example,dc=com bindpw secret binddn cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com #rootbinddn cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com ssl no pam_filter objectclass=posixAccount pam_login_attribute uid pam_password md5
I did this some time ago, so i dont remember all of it. But I noticed that what order the lines are in here was a issue too

Hello, Thanks. Do you have configs from your setup?I'd like to compare your working setup with my nonworking one, see if i can spot the issue. Thanks. Dave.

Hi
Sorry for late reply, i attached a file with ldap files, i removed some access settings The files is /etc/pam.d/system-auth, /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/slapd.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf.
In addition to those files you allso need the /etc/ldap.secret
Tronn
Maybe not the better approach, but using nscd on the clients solve this.
