Just can't understand what is happening...

Hi everyone,

I'm just new to OpenLDAP and trying to install a Linux-PDC-Samba-OpenLDAP.

I just can't get the authentification working...
Set up a OpenLDAP-Server 2.0.23 (compiled from scratch) configured for my
needs and filled with data.
Then installed the pam_ldap and nss_ldap from padl.com. Compiled a new samba
server (2.2.3a).
O.k. So far so good.

I'm getting stuck with the same problem try each way...

I looked through the logfiles and found a thing, I just can't understand...

Perhaps anyone can explain why the search doesn't work...

>newgw:~ # ldapsearch "(&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=root))"
>version: 2
>
>#
># filter: (&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=root))
># requesting: ALL
>#
>
># search result
>search: 2
>result: 0 Success
>
># numResponses: 1

Search is identical to the search the samba-server did (pam_ldap is nearly
the same...)

>newgw:~ # ldapsearch "(&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=root*))"
>version: 2

>#
># filter: (&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=root*))

>cn: root
>homeDirectory: /root

># search result
>search: 2
>result: 0 Success

So what is the difference between these to queris (the star, i know ;-))
Why does the first fail (and with this query all authetifications)

thanx for help,

Jens
