Hi all
I've several machines running ldap authentication without problems.
But I've been trying to set up another one since 2 days ago using the latest versions of pam_ldap and nss_ldap. The SO is Linux kernel 2.6.20. pam_ldap version: 184. nss_ldap version: 255. Openldap version: 2.2.26
Authentication works fine but I'm not able to change passwords. The exact error is:
[root@host /]# passwd "user"
Changing password for "user"
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New password: ******
Re-enter new password: ******
passwd: "user" not found in /etc/passwd
However that "user" can log in via ldap.
I'll copy & paste some configurations.
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files ldap
group: files
shadow: files ldap
.............. ................
/etc/pam.conf
#%PAM-1.0
# --------------------------------------------------
su auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
su auth required pam_unix_auth.so
# --------------------------------------------------
login auth requisite pam_securetty.so
login auth sufficient pam_unix.so
login auth required pam_ldap.so
# --------------------------------------------------
other auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
other auth required pam_unix.so
other account required pam_unix.so
other password required pam_warn.so
other password sufficient pam_ldap.so
other password required pam_unix.so
Try to replace the previous 2 lines like this:
other password sufficient pam_unix.so
other password required pam_ldap.so ignore_unknown_user
other session optional pam_lastlog.so
other session required pam_unix.so
Please, any suggestion will be more than welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance.
