Anyhow, I downloaded the .deb packages and then used dpkg to install them. Had to also install nslcd as well. It asked a few questions about my ldap server and ... doesn't work. If I su to root, I get and LDAP open_session failed message ... and then if I exit that session, I get a LDAP closed_session failed message. Also, I can't su to any of my ldap users. I get 'not found' for the ID. I'll add that I also installed the packages required for NFS client to work and that does work. So ... I'll have now tried installing libpam-ldap instead libpam-ldapd was uninstalled in the process. I answered the questions (ldap server, distinguished name, version, etc) and ... it still doesn't allow me to su to a known user. I'm probably missing something simple at this point but ... I know we've discussed this over on the edubuntu user list but ... it sure would be nice if this 'just worked' ;) It just seems soooo close. Sincerely, Dave Hopkins > -- > Scott L.
