Any pointers welcome. This is on RHEL4 and FDS 1.0.2. pam_ldap moans about referrals when the first LDAP server in ldap.conf is a consumer-only. No problem if it's talking to a read-write master.
 
# passwd test
Changing password for user test.
Enter login(LDAP) password:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
LDAP password information update failed: Referral
 
I tried nss_ldap-226 and nss-ldap-253 which comes with an updated pam_ldap. I have
 
referrals yes
 
in ldap.conf
 
I can do a manual ldappasswd update to the consumer and it works, presumably referring to a writable master ok (thought I can't see anything about referrals in the ldappasswd debugging output, nor nothing in the master logs).
