Well, this makes sense, but I'm using the Sun-recommended pam_ldap configuration, straight from their documentation for Solaris 10. I don't have a machine in front of me, but if memory serves, their configuration includes pam_unix_auth, pam_unix_cred as well as pam_ldap. I've read about the changes with server_policy and the like, but even those example (again, iirc) use pam_unix. If you have a working pam.conf for solaris 10 that doesn't exhibit this behavior, I'd be happy not so much to see it, but to know what doc you referenced to develop it!

The bind as the proxy user is to retrieve the crypted password hash of the account, which is then compared with the password given at login. If you want LDAP account deactivation to affect logins to Solaris clients, those clients must use pam_ldap to authenticate against the LDAP server, instead of pam_unix. Note also that deactivating a LDAP account will not prevent password-less rsh login with that account. -- George Brian K.
