I still had problems after disabling the NSS LDAP service (in testing): Errors were encountered while processing: slapd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up slapd (2.3.24-2) ... Creating new user openldap chfn: PAM authentication failed adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn -f OpenLDAP Server Account openldap' returned error code 1. Exiting.
Typing in that command manually (slapd was started despite the error) I get: sam:~# /usr/bin/chfn -f OpenLDAP 'Server Account openldap' chfn: unknown user Server Account openldap Looking at the man page for chfn I don't know what this this is meant to do, I suspect this was intended: sam:~# /usr/bin/chfn -f 'Server Account openldap' openldap (my PAM configuration is setup so that if the account cannot be found locally, PAM is used instead). ...but maybe this is a bug in adduser??? -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
