Changed system-auth config to use LDAP. The sshd config is configured to use PAM. I am not sure whether it load that file at daemon start or refers to it every time a login attempt with password is made. When would it be requiring restart in general? -- CS. On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 12:41 PM, Pau

Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems to be working without any sshd restart. Also, I changed ldap conf to a non standard location for some debugging. It still uses same ldap url over ssl, so I didn't have to restart nscd. But it's good to know of potential pitfalls. -- CS. On Mon, Aug 30,
