If anyone out there is using LDAP v2.1 with SLES8 for their authentication I am looking for assistance. I seem to have everything configured and working just fine except I seem to have a problem with the forcing of a password change. If you execute a passwd --help you will see that you can force a password change for a user on next login with the -e argument. I execute this and get Change to login shell failed. I am able as a user and / or root to change a users password by typing passwd. It seems though the -e flag is causing issues.
Anyone have an idea what I need to do or how to address this? And at this time I am not running Kerberos with my LDAP, everything is done in the LDAP. thanks! Eric Sammons (804)697-3925 FRIT - Unix Systems
