Do you need to re-make/build the nis/yp make file? I can't remember the jargon, but after adding new users you need to rebuild the nis database if I rmember. I've been stuck on that for an hour or two in the past.
Well ... I tried following what I thought were the correct instructions for getting ubuntu to authenticate against my existing ldap server (which is based on RHEL 5). After installing auth-config and ldap-auth-config, answering all of the questions, specifying the existing ldap server using an IP address ... etc. I couldn't use su - someuser to become that user. The error was simply "user not found" .. So, I locatedhttp://mcwhirter.com.au/node/25 which also mentioned nsswitch.conf modifications. On my CentOS LTSP servers, the changes mentioned exist, so I added the changes on this ubuntu server. And ... I could then su - someuser and I was logged in as that user in the correct (nfs-mounted) home directory. I then logged out and tried to log in at the console as that user. It doesn't work. So ... I ssh'ed into the server as that user which did work.
