I have an LDAP server that I can use for authentication. On this server I can authenticate as these users locally and ldapsearch them, whatever. On any of the LDAP clients, however, I can see them using an ldapsearch, but an id or su will return no such user.

Example:

root@garion:~# ldapsearch -x uid=connor

# extended LDIF

# LDAPv3

# base <dc=muncc,dc=loc> (default) with scope subtree

# filter: uid=connor

# requesting: ALL

# connor, People, muncc.loc

dn: uid=connor,ou=People,dc=muncc,dc=loc

uid: connor

cn: connor

objectClass: account

objectClass: posixAccount

objectClass: top

objectClass: shadowAccount

shadowMax: 99999

shadowWarning: 7

loginShell: /bin/bash

uidNumber: 1002

gidNumber: 100

gecos: connor,,,

homeDirectory: /shared/home/connor

# search result

search: 2

result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2

# numEntries: 1

root@garion:~# id connor

id: connor: No such user

Now, I'm pretty sure that this must be an NSS or PAM problem, but the files on the clients and the server seem to be configured the same. I can't seem to pinpoint exactly what is wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
