pam_ldap: What if LDAP server not reachable?
Howdy...
I'm playing at bit with PAM (for the first time) and after 3 days now,
/me is going bananas, seriously...
myProblem: I use pam_ldap to authenticate users against an LDAP server.
This nice redhat 8.0 installation f**** up my network settings if i
specify module options in /etc/modules.conf. This is the least of my
probs. BUT, if my network doesn't get enabled, i'm also not enable to
reach the LDAP server. You would think: 'but you can still login as
root, right?'... wrong. i can't login as root, which makes boot in
single user mode, enable all the network stuff manually and login as
root. you know, once all the network stuff is enabled and working, i
have no problems logging in as root (which is a local account), but i
the network is down, /me == :(
does anybody know a solution?
