I attempted the steps based on your experience with ypldap.
I downloaded a snapshot 2 days ago and setup a fresh install on a virtual machine.
However I get the following after running ypldap: # ypldap -dv startup [debug mode] configuration starting applying configuration connecting to directories starting directory update starting directory update updates are over, cleaning up trees now flattening trees I never receive the "pushing lines: ..." output. Here is my ypldap.conf: interval 60 # how many seconds between retries domain "domain.net.au" # only one domain for now provide map "passwd.byname" provide map "passwd.byuid" provide map "group.byname" provide map "group.bygid" directory "ldap server" { binddn "cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=net,dc=au" bindcred "" basedn "ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=net,dc=au" passwd filter "(objectClass=posixAccount)" attribute name maps to "uid" fixed attribute passwd "*" fixed attribute class "ldap" attribute uid maps to "uidNumber" attribute gid maps to "gidNumber" attribute gecos maps to "cn" attribute home maps to "homeDirectory" attribute shell maps to "loginShell" attribute change maps to "shadowLastChange" fixed attribute expire "0" group filter "(objectClass=posixGroup)" attribute groupname maps to "cn" fixed attribute grouppasswd "*" attribute groupgid maps to "gidNumber" list groupmembers maps to "memberUid" } Thanks. -- Gavin Norman E: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
