Hi, I?m new to LDAP and pam. Do I need to the user in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to autenticate a user in the sistem or in the PDC? I?m using RedHat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.19acl), LDAPv3 (NDS for Linux), Samba-2.2.6pre Thank?s Bruno Pereti. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

>m new to LDAP and pam. Do I need to the user in /etc/passwd and >/etc/shadow to autenticate a user in the sistem or in the PDC?No, but you do need NSS LDAP configured. If Samba is authenticating all connections you don't need PAM LDAP at all. If your going to provide other (ssh shell, imap, pop, etc...) services from the same box you will need PAM.>I=B4m using RedHat 7.1 (kernel 2.4.19acl), LDAPv3 (NDS for Linux), >Samba-2.2.6preSamba and LDAP information at ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf
