I've seen mention of this problem on the list previously, but no
solutions that work for me...

My setup:
- A SuSE Linux 9.3 OpenLDAP server
- A number of OpenSUSE 10.2 machines, with a very limited number of
local accounts, that authenticate against the aforementioned OpenLDAP
server.
- A couple of SuSE Linux 9.3 client machines, with a limited number of
local accounts, authenticating against the aforementioned OpenLDAP
server.

When logging into the OpenSUSE 10.2 machines, _some_ LDAP users are
denied access with the message "Permissions on the password database may
be too restrictive".  Some LDAP users, however, are able to log in
without a problem.  I have not found a consistent distinction between
the users who are allowed in, and the ones who aren't.

When logging into the OpenSUSE 10.2 machines, non-root local users are
denied access with the same message.  However, if I change the password
for the user (as root, by doing `passwd <user>`), they are given access
a minute or two later.  Note that there is a time lag before access is
opened up.  

When logging into the SuSE Linux 9.3 machines, all users -- local and
LDAP -- are able to log in fine.

Anyone have thoughts/suggestions as to places that I might start
looking.  My log files are showing me absolutely nothing (which I
consider something of a problem in and of itself, but...)

Thanks!
