Package: libpam-ldap Version: all severity: wishlist In /etc/pam_ldap.conf there is:
# The distinguished name to bind to the server with # if the effective user ID is root. Password is # stored in /etc/ldap.secret (mode 600) Well, that's only half the truth. The password stored there must not have a newline at the end nor a blank. But what strikes most is that it must not be a terminated line, so creating the password with e.g. vi will not work! I would vote for adding a hint to the above comment: # The distinguished name to bind to the server with # if the effective user ID is root. Password is # stored in /etc/ldap.secret (mode 600). Use # 'echo -n mYpAsSwOrD > /etc/ldap.secret' instead of an # editor to create it. rgds, Andreas John -- Andreas John net-lab GmbH Luisenstrasse 30b 63067 Offenbach Tel: +49 69 85700331 http://www.net-lab.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
