Authentication problems with ldap

[Lynn York]

[ /etc/nsswitch.conf ]

 

# Example:

#passwd:    db files nisplus nis

#shadow:    db files nisplus nis

#group:     db files nisplus nis

 

passwd:     files ldap

shadow:     files ldap

group:      files ldap

 

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns

hosts:      files dns

 

[end]

 

I am also running nscd.   The part that is puzzling to me is that I can su
from root to any user(obviously because I don't need the password) but it
just doesn't seem to be authenticating with the passwords.

Lynn,

Are you running nscd? if so, do you have ldap as an option in your
nsswitch.conf?
