Hello,

I've just installed a new Fedora 13 client and configured it to use
FreeIPA. During ipa-client install, I received the following error:

nss_ldap is not able to use DNS discovery! However, the /etc/ldap.conf
and /etc/krb5.conf appear to be configured correctly.

I am unable to login to the machine. Here is an extract from /var/log/secure:

djscott from 192.168.1.35 port 50502 ssh2

Here is the PAM configuration:

Does anyone have any suggestions for why this is not working?

Thanks,
