[PLUG] Ldap Auth and debian


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Greetings
	I have a debian test box on my network, and need it to use ldap like the 
other boxes.  The only problem is debian seems to not be able to allow users 
to log in.  I can finger users and when I do a ls on the nfs mounted home 
dirs the correct names pop up.  But for some reason they cannot log in.

	From what I can tell is you have to install the ldap pam_ldap and libnss 
packages and debconf ran asking me some questions...  I answered them with my 
site settings, but it seemed to not even to do anything.  So after reading 
the ldap stuff from padl.com i got finger and uids to work, but login still 
escapes me.

	On SuSe you just click the use LDAP button and type in the server/base dn and 
you are good to go... Debian asked for the same exact things but the config 
is wildly different from what padl.com documents and SuSE uses...

	Any ideas?

	FYI i am not suing TLS on the server or the SuSE clients, does Debian turn 
that on by default?  If so that may be the problem.

	Cheers
	-ian reinhart geiser
