If you do a getent on an LDAP user, does anything come back?

Example:

# getent passwd some_user
# getent shadow some_user

If both of these return the proper values, then LDAP is configured
correctly and it is most likely your PAM configuration that has an
issue. If they do not return the proper values, then it is probably your
LDAP configuration that is incorrect. In which case, ldapsearch is very
useful for troubleshooting.

We did try that route when we began, but the Yast interface assumes that
you
are using a Open-LDAP server, which we are not.  We are using Lotus
Notes as
our LDAP server.  Notes has a facility where it can act as a LDAP
server.
We have also added the approprate POSIX fields to the Notes addressbook
database to support authenticating Unix/Linux users.

We really did not want to have to hand-edit the LDAP client files, but
that
is the only way we got anything to work.
