I am so sorry, I just realised why I was not seeing my posts in the archives. Helps if you change to most recent pages. I was posting without being a member and thought maybe debial was dropping my posts for some reason), my last post was being a member.
So to the entire list, I apoligise for my multiple posts. Back to the problem I am having. I am doing nothing especially difficult. All were done with simple installing libpam-ldap following the prompts. Of 5 machines I have tried this on only one is working. The others all give the error ldap_simple_bind: cannot connect to server. My config is simple host ldap.vu.edu.au base o=vu.edu.au ldap_version 3 port 389 pam_password clear No TLS or SSL is being used at this point. my /etc/pam.d/smtp is the sample one. auth sufficient pam_ldap.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass THis configuration is working on another machine. I have even gone over one of the machines ensuring the package versions, and their dependencies match. Watching the network, I can see pam_ldap doing a lookup for ldap.vu.edu.au - and getting a result, it looksup a AAAA record for ldap.vu.edu.au then AAAA for ldap.vu.edu.au.its.vu.edu.au then finally looks up A for ldap.vu.edu.au and gets an IP address. But it never attempts to connect. For some reason, and I don;t know why ldap_simple_bind fails without attempting to connect the host. I will keep nuttering this out, thatnks for trying to help, and again sorry for the multiposts.
