Right, basically this is doing what I thought - just checking passwords in AD without looking up user info, so the accounts need to exist on the bsd server (that may become a real pain in the arse, by the way).
couple of quick checks; 1) the ldap.conf referred to should be /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf *NOT* /etc/openldap/ldap.conf 2) can you log onto the console as these users? If you're sshing you may need to edit /etc/pam.d/sshd, and not login. 3) what's in your logs? If you have the 'debug' flag on, something will be getting written to - check /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages * Bret Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1043 13:43]: > It is here: http://www.netsys.com/pamldap/2002/04/msg00074.html > > Thanks, > Bret > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dick Davies > Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 4:31 AM > To: Bret Walker > Cc: FreeBSD Questions > Subject: Re: Pam_ldap > > > * Bret Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1028 00:28]: > > I've been trying all day to get pam_ldap to authenticate an ssh > > session against Active Directory.
