I have the same problem on a Hardy server installation. I have updated it from Gutsy, but i count it as a Hardy install because i only used Gutsy server cd to install the base system then i have updated it to hardy straight away. In my case it was not enough to put "bind_policy soft" in ldap.con

Good criteria. But please also consider the PAM rules for logins. Some allow a graceful fall thru to pam_unix.so as a backup. This should be a default no matter what other auth system is used. There are many other pam auth systems, eg: fingerprint, usb key etc... LDAP is only one of many. So when c

Okay, snapshot of conclusions at this point... (1) Any systems Feisty (and earlier) upgraded to Hardy (and later) would require a manual migration of /etc/libnss-ldap.conf and /etc/pam- ldap.conf if either or both of those files exist. (2) None of the 5+ Ubuntu developers who have looked at this

Same happened to me. I think the problem lies in the reference to ldap server. With "pam_ldap.conf" my ref is a uri and works, but when I make it a straight host name ref, then it hangs. Dunno if this helps. On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 6:49 PM, Dustin Kirkland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > @Brian- > >

I'm pretty sure that this is not a problem of nss-ldap but nss-files or the nss subsystem at all! nss-ldap should never get asked about any account informations (root, daemon,...) found by nss-files already. And yes, it is really a pita that no one took care for this major bug already. -- ldap

An added twist to this bug... I've been running LDAP servers on Feisty and Breezy and Hoary for a long time, without this problem. The latest couple I've set up have shown me this problem. This problem is very significant in this case because the LDAP servers themselves are unable to boot. Bec
