Using LDAP for authentication question

[Jason Williams <jwilliams@courtesymortgage.com>]

Hello everyone!

I have a question about using OpenLDAP (using 2.0.27 on RH 7.3) for 
authentication of users. Before I go on, a quick bit of background info.
The server, is a primary domain controller. Running Samba 2.2.8a with 
OpenLDAP 2.0.27 on the backend to hold my user accounts and passwords.

I've got it up and running correctly and i've been able to join users and 
computers to the domain successfully. Everything is working correctly.

However, as it is right now, I only have one account (root) that can 
actually SSH to the box and log in. Even thought I have a my account 
created in LDAP, I cannot SSH to the box. It does not allow me to connect.

As it is now, there is a root account I use to log in with to do work. But, 
i'd like to make it so I can SSH to the box and authenticate with my user 
account. I figure, there are a few additional setup options that I need to 
configure, but im not sure where to look.

I should also mention that there will only be two people, including myself, 
that are going to actually need shell access to the server. Everyone else 
will have '/bin/false' shells when their account is created.

Can anyone lead me in the direction of what I will need to do to setup the 
box so I can use my account that is in LDAP, and allow me to SSH to the 
box? I dont want to create an additional user account on the server, but 
instead use the account that I have in LDAP.

Thanks for your input.

Jason
