LAM does not create home directory on remote server

[Ian Hellyer]

Hello,


I have installed LAM 2.3.0 rpm on a centos 5 server with php 5.1.6
libssh2-0.12, pecl-ssh2-0.10 and all dependencies, openssh-4.3p2-24,  
perl-5.8.8-10.
I don't use quotas or samba, so they were removed from "Selected Modules"


I added a user through LAM on the server where LAM is installed (local).
The user's home directory was created, then I logged in as that user,  
with password authentication through ldap.
Everything is good so far.


I copied the "lamdaemon.pl" ( lamdaemon.pl is owned by root with 755  
permissions) file to the right directory on a centos 4 server (remote  
server) openssh-3.9p1-8, perl-5.8.8-5, added LAM's admin user and  
password to the it and the correct entry into "sudoers".
When I do the lamdaemon test and select the remote server, all tests  
are okay (green ticks). Quotas not selected.
Note: libssh2 and pecl-ssh2 are not installed.


Here is /var/log/messages for the test. I've changed the server and  
admin names.


Jul  8 12:05:16 remote sshd(pam_unix)[23035]: session opened for user  
admin by (uid=0)
Jul  8 12:05:16 remote sshd(pam_unix)[23035]: session closed for user admin


When a user is added and the remote server is selected in LAM, an  
entry is added to ldap, but the user is not created on the remote  
server.
Home directory created (). is displayed in LAM.


Here is /var/log/messages


Jul  8 12:45:38 remote sshd(pam_unix)[23092]: session opened for user  
admin by (uid=0)
Jul  8 12:45:38 remote sshd(pam_unix)[23092]: session closed for user admin


Have I left something out?


Regards,
Ian


PS I get a lot of "Undefined index" errors, whether or not it works. I  
ignore them.

Please try this command on the homdir server after creating your user
(replace "<NEW USER NAME>"):

getent passwd | grep <NEW USER NAME>

Does it show the correct home directory? If not then your nsswitch
settings for LDAP have a problem. Maybe not all required LDAP attibutes
are readable with the current configuration.


If the correct directory is shown then it is a Perl problem. Please try
upgrading your Perl version.
