Description Hans-Peter Jansen 2006-02-03 20:10:43 UTC 
When using the wrong password in an openldap setup, kdm replies:
"Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive."

To my knowledge, this problem persists since 10.0, but I forgot to file that report (partly because I stuck with 9.3 internally since 10.0 had too many problems, where I at least filed the major one's..).
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2006-02-04 19:44:57 UTC 
what happens if you su on the command line? kdm only follows pam
Comment 2 Hans-Peter Jansen 2006-02-04 20:25:13 UTC 
Same, same ;-):

LANG=C su - xxx
Password: 
Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive.
su: incorrect password

Okay, looks like a pam problem then:
pam-0.99.3.0-3
pam_ldap-180-2
nss_ldap-246-2
