No. You only need to restart sshd when you change /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Changing PAM to use LDAP does not affect the *running* sshd process(s). sshd consults PAM at each login time. PAM then loads in its LDAP module, etc. as needed. Oh, don't forget: /etc/nsswitch.conf needs to be updated and /etc/ldap.conf needs to be properly setup. > > mark > > -- > > CS. > > > > On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 12:41 PM, Paul Heinlein <heinlein at madboa.com> > > wrote: > >> On Mon, 30 Aug 2010, Carlos S wrote: > >> > >>> Howdy, > >>> > >>> Do we need to restart any service after making changed to pam > >>> modules?
