Hi all A few days ago I asked on this mailing how ldap authentication works but now I've got another question. For the installation of pam_ldap and nss_ldap I used guide from www.imaginator.com/~simon/ldap. When I login with a user which is created on the machine and on my ldap server it's possible to login. I can see in my ldap log that there is a lot of activity. Now I have created another user which only exists on the ldap-server, with the exact same configuration as the user who exists in both, I get the following error in my auth.log and in my ldap log doesn't happen anything. sshd[31611]: Failed none for illegal user jan from 172.17.6.179 port 1450 sshd[31611]: Failed password for illegal user jan from 172.17.6.179 port 1450 When I login with a user who doesn't exists in both I get the same error. My nsswitch.conf looks like this: # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality. # If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try: # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file. passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis In my files in the pam.d directory (login, ssh) I only selected pam_ldap.so for auth, account, password and session. I'm pulling my hair out of this because I don't know what to do with this. Is there any one who could help me with this. Thanks a lot Greetz Geert
