Hi,

maybe it is no bug in real. Because my LDAP user object has no shadowAccount 
objectClass, libnss-ldap makes "*" in the password field. When I add 
showAccount objectClass, it make "x" in the password field.

When the pam_unix functionality is correct to return SUCCESS on user with "*" 
in password field, then it is no bug, I think.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Wolf.
