I found out why. During the installation, I am asked if I want to make it readable only by owner(root) and I said yes, as I do notice there is the chance that password would be stored in /etc/libnss-ldap.conf
This seems to prevent the ldap library to see the file when I am not root and just don't do anything. I still think this is a bug though as the nsswitch mechanism is supposed to be a system wide thing and the behaviour is a bit odd only because of the access right to a config file. I would suggest to just remove this option in the installation prompt or have better wording as this strange behaviour makes the whole thing useless. The login works(as it is root when running) but once success, the active uid switched and the login user can't find the entry to retrieve things like sh, home etc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
