I wanted to know if this was possible. I thought I had it working before but I think I had not updated the NIS mappings ..
I have a NIS server, and an LDAP server, both have the same userids, but both have different passwords. I want to be able to authenticate off of LDAP or NIS. The problem seems to be in nsswitch.conf. If I have it set to 'compat ldap' then people using LDAP(that have a NIS account) do not appear to be able to login, if i use 'ldap compat' its the other way around. The only service i am using with LDAP on this machine is cyrus, my /etc/pam.d/cyrus is: # PAM configurtion file for Cyrus pwcheck auth sufficient pam_ldap.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok account sufficient pam_ldap.so account required pam_unix.so I am running potato, with openldap 2.0.23 from woody. I thought I had it working before by hcanging my password on the NIS server, but I probably didn't update the NIS mappings so it appeared that it was working when the passwords were just out of synch. is there a way around this ? I'm not a PAM or LDAP expert ...(but I'm learnin) thanks nate
