Oh and I get the same failure when trying to get Debian etch to connect, so I am assuming there is something on the FDS that is wrong, or not as yet setup, rather than a client side issue….

 

Firewall is off….

 

Hosts.allow is ALL:ALL

 

Ldapsearch returns OK….so a pam issue in some form….maybe

Hi,

 

I am trying to get a RHEL4 box to LDAP authenticate against FDS (also on RHEL4) and failing…..

 

In the logs (messages) I have,

 

Sep 10 13:30:52 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd(pam_unix)[2284]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=vuwunicvadmin02.res.vuw.ac.nz  user=jonesst1

Sep 10 13:30:52 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd[2284]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server

Sep 10 13:30:52 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd[2284]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server

Sep 10 13:31:05 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd(pam_unix)[2284]: 2 more authentication failures; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=vuwunicvadmin02.res.vuw.ac.nz  user=jonesst1

 

Any ideas why? And how to fix? Also is there a way to search the archive for this list?

 

When I do a,

 

ldapsearch -x -h 130.195.87.249 -b dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz "(ou=Users)"

 

The server replies so FDS appears to be running OK….

 

Also is there a way to search the archive for this list? I have tried Googling with no luck…

 

regards
