misleading reply of kdm with wrong passwd in an openldap setup
Last modified: 2006-02-06 09:17:47 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..).
what happens if you su on the command line? kdm only follows pam
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
