Hi Josh and Barry, running system-config-authentication solved the problem. The lines in system-auth looks like this: account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so broken_shadow account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so I have CentOS 4.2 and is working now as expected Many thanks Oliver Josh Kelley wrote: > On 2/23/06, Oliver Schulze L. <oliver at samera.com.py> wrote: > >> I have a problem that when my slapd fails to start, I can no longer >> login via ssh as a user that is in /etc/passwd >> >> How can I solve this?
