Hi 1. My users are in LDAP not in /etc/password. 2. FreeNX is recognizing only localusers not the LDAP users for authentication. 3. I have 6 users with home directory on a single server and i want all users to login to this server from there respective machine and use the GUI. (they have to have use gui for programming interface, else ssh was really good and there was no pain. This is some sort of windows terminal server setup with multiple profile and you can access them with RDP. 4.Now FreeNX is not able to figure out how to login into the Server with a specified user Name in LDAP. i have got someting http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~mueller/docs/suse10.1/suselinux-manual_en/manual/sec.freenx.advanced.html please see 15.2.2.. FreeNX may not be able to auth directly against your LDAP server, but it can authenticate against pam, and pam can in turn be configured to authenticate against your LDAP server. e.g freeNX-->PAM-->LDAP PS:--- i might be conceptually wrong in this. i am not freeNX sensitive but i do not know any other better tool. it was working perfectly when i was not using LDAP. And the intention of using LDAP is to remove MS ACtive Directory from org. Suggestion/Advise most welcome Best Regards H _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
