Try running this: authconfig --kickstart --enablelocauthorize And see if that does the trick, what you want to see under 'account' account required pam_unix.so broken_shadow account sufficient pam_localuser.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_ldap.so account required pam_permit.so The above command should do the trick. -Ross ________________________________ From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Aaron Bliss Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 11:41 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] help with samba and ldap on centos 5 Hi Ross, I used authconfig to configure the box.

For local users, I've added local os accounts as well as accounts in the samba database with smbpasswd Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Did you use authconfig to configure ldap auth or did you manually edit the PAM database? Can you post a copy of your /etc/sysconfig/authconfig, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and a copy of your /etc/nsswitch.conf? -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
