Yast2 has a good "LDAP Client" configuration, which changes many things, including /etc/nsswitch.conf It does NOT appear to do /etc/pam.d/* but most of them have LDAP available because if is in nsswitch.conf From: "Stefan G.

I already had those packages installed, I edited /etc/pam.d/system-auth by hand, following the example in this document: http://www.linuxplusvalue.be/download/samba-ldap-howto.pdf There is nothing mentioned about nsswitch.conf and when I try to create a user via smbldap-useradd.pl it works, but I can?t login with that user. I understand that this can?t work as long as the login-program doesn?t use ldap. Can you point me to what I should change in my setup? thank you, Stefan mailto:monitor@oops.co.at
