I'm setting up a RedHat machine using OpenLDAP to authenticate with a Solaris Iplanet LDAP server. I've used authconfig to set up the initial configuration, and I'm able to successfully login to the system with LDAP users. The problem is that each time I log in with an LDAP user, I'm getting some log errors about an authentication failure. From the logs, it look like it is checking the local passwd file first and complaining when it can't find the appropriate user, then going to LDAP to authenticate successfully. This is the behavior I want, but I just don't want the authentication failure notices in the logs if the user is successfully found in LDAP. Any ideas on how to solve this? The relevant portion of the auth.log is shown below (hostnames and ip addresses have been removed):
Jun 16 08:32:06 logger sshd(pam_unix)[7003]: check pass; user unknown
Jun 16 08:32:06 logger sshd(pam_unix)[7003]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=hostname.hidden
Jun 16 08:32:06 logger sshd[7003]: Accepted password for mjr5 from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 1050 ssh2
Jun 16 08:32:06 logger sshd(pam_unix)[7005]: session opened for user mjr5 by (uid=4100)
Thanks.
