Chuck: your New->Confirmed seems to contradict Steve's assessment, yes? I can see Steve's point, so I raised the issue on the nssldap list at PADL but didn't really get anything meaningful back. It would appear that nobody is listening there or there is no solution to this problem. I.e. to this point at least, it does not appear that one can disable the shadow map and thusly stop nssldap from returning a "x" in the password field.
But at the same time, neither does it make any sense to me to provide/require a shadow map from LDAP when LDAP shadow authentication is not even being used for a given user (i.e. using kerberos). IOW, I should be able to configure nsswitch.conf with: shadow: files and not have pam_unix barf. -- account configuration not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libnss-ldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
