Re: i don't find a new user added in getent passwd list

Hi, have you tried using ldapsearch to see if its an issue with nss/pam
or an issue with ldap?

I would suggest that your openldap environment is probably working fine
(as you seem to have been able to perform the necessary ldapadds) and
its probably nss/pam that need fixing.

Try reading here:
