RE: OpenLDAP Config Question



First, thanks to everyone for the feedback!
Based on further testing, it looks like I may have sometype of configuration problem.
When I remove one user at a time from the /etc/passwd file, LDAP authentication continues to work correctly.
Since I have hundreds of users in the file, I haven't found where it breaks yet.

I also noticed that during a user authentication, slapd (started with full debug turned on (-1)) looked like it was doing a sequential read through the entire database.

The only things I have in LDAP at this point is User-ID's, Password's & Group's.

Here are my config files:

/etc/ldap.conf

That is correct.  Post some config files:
/etc/ldap.conf
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf (if you have that one)
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

That should be a good start.
