Hi, just one idea: have you configured nss_ldap to resolve account in ou=Computers ? ie, in /etc/ldap.conf, have you the 2 lines: nss_base_passwd ou=Users,......?sub nss_base_passwd ou=Computers,......?sub
If not, add ou=Computers and remove any nscd cache before re-trying. -- Jérôme On Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 4:33 PM, Frank J.
