There are 2 sets of packages, the one I use (I like it better - works how I like it to work and seems to be getting active maintenance). nslcd and with this you will need libnss-ldapd & libpam-ldapd they both need config files in /etc [snip] > > pam_ldap.conf looks like this: > [snip] you need to look at the nss config file as well > We could very likely have a missing package.
