I posted this a couple of days ago to freebsd-quesions, but just realized I might have more luck here...I'm trying to implement SSO using Samba-3.2.4 with an LDAP backend. The intent is to use ldap directly for FBSD clients and Samba for MS Windows clients. I'm currently working on the ldap part The LDAP server (openldap 2.4.11) is running on a FBSD 6.3 server and is setup and seems to be working fine, I can log in locally or through SSH using the ldap accounts. I'm working on the first client which is a FBSD 7.1 / KDE 3.5.10 machine. I can use ldap to login on this machine, but I'm having issues with logging in using kdm. I can see all the users both from local files and from ldap, but I can't log in using either. Even when kdm won't allow a login, I can <ctrl><alt><F8> and get a normal login shell and login with local or ldap accounts. The ldap lines are included in my /etc/pam.d/kde file. If I remove ldap from the nsswitch.conf file it will start working with local logins on kdm again. I ran into a bug report from last summer that appears to still be open with exactly the same issue (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=124321).
That was my bug report ;-)
Does anyone know a workaround or have a patch for the issue? I can provide config files and such if anyone thinks it might help. Is this something that is already fixed in KDE 4.2, so I've come up with my excuse to upgrade?
I have not found a fix for this, other than working around the problem by using gdm or xdm as mentioned in the original PR. This *should* work out of the box without any problems - the use of LDAP for login is very common, even in smaller organizations. Doesn't anyone else use kdm with LDAP logins? Are you using i386 or amd64? I was only able to try amd64. -- DE
