Hi there,
I have a working LDAP environment, running Open Ldap on a Debian Sarge
installation. This is all good - users can log in, change passwords etc.
without a problem.
What doesn't work are users contained in the /etc/passwd file - i.e. I can
log into a system using an LDAP users, but not a local one.
I cannot change the root passord either - I get the following error:
alderney:/etc/pam.d# passwd
passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered
The contents of my pam.d/common-* files are:
common-account:
account sufficient pam_ldap.so
account required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
common-auth:
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass
common-password:
password sufficient pam_ldap.so
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5
use_first_pass
common-session:
session sufficient pam_ldap.so
session required pam_unix.so
nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
hosts: files dns
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
I have a user in /etc/passwd that I cannot do anything with. I created it in
the normal way (groupadd/useradd) but if I try to set a password I get:
alderney:/home/pclarke# passwd cvs-admin
passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered
So, LDAP users work fine - login/out, change password etc. but local file
users cannot do anything. I can't even change the root password.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Pete.
