Passwd backend
I've built my own openldap binaries and installed these. I currently
have a true LDAP database of users/groups. I'd like to, since there are
no decent drop-in replacements for various user utilities, have the
users and groups stored in the default UNIX passwd/group files. I know
openldap has a passwd backend (which I enabled in my build) but I can't
get it to work.
I gave it it's own base dn (dc=test, just for know) but if I search in
dc=test, it gives me results from the current real user database (stored
in LDAP database, on the same server) but the results are given with
dc=test... i.e., a user "uid=fake,dc=real" that is in the LDAP database
but not the /etc/passwd file is returned, but as "uid=fake,dc=test".
What is going on? Are there any examples of configuration files that do
this that work correctly? I can't figure out what is wrong with mine.
Thanks,
Sean Etc.
