[CentOS] GDM problems whe using LDAP for user id information
Hi all, I have a CentOS-5 workstation configured to retrieve user id information from LDAP server and password from another kerberos server. If I setup a user entry on /etc/passwd file all works ok, user can logon on GDM and password is verifiyed via kerberos. But If I use LDAP to retrieve user information, GDM doesn't works. On the other side, I can login on console using ldap for user information. GDM returns this error on /var/log/secure: Nov 5 13:45:40 deagol gdm[2484]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): check pass; user unknown Nov 5 13:45:40 deagol gdm[2484]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhostNov 5 13:45:40 deagol gdm[2484]: pam_succeed_if(gdm:auth): error retrieving information about user testuser And on /var/log/messages: Nov 5 13:45:41 deagol gdm[2484]: Couldn't authenticate user All other services that I use with ldap (ssh for example) works ok. Somebody knows where is the problem?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
