Could it be because I choosed "security medium" during install ?, however
to run my tests I did stopped ipchains ! also I noticed that an "su -
username" (username beeing an ldap posixaccount) works fine ! ,even the
automont map which is in ldap works. So I concluded that there is a
problem of password encryption somewhere. Where ? how could I debug that ?

Thanks for your help

PS: "ask RedHAT" ! to what address should I send that request (apart from
nalin@redhat.com !)
