Yes. the directory is created on LDAP client. ls -dl /home/ldapuser shows drwx-- 2 root root/home/ldapuser ^^^ When the ldapuser logs in it is does not have rw access to it's own home directory! The home directory ownership should be something like this? drwx-- 2 ldapuser users/home/ldapuser IIRC - that is why he was trying to do chown command- so that ldapuser can own her home directory. Didn't that start the thread ? -Mandar ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
Re: [PLUG] Error in login as a LDAP user-
On issusing such a command; $ telnet 192.168.0.7 389 Connection gets established. I have not used telnet to login. That only means that telnet service is active. I'm assuming that you know that you need to use LDAP for authentication with telnet (preferably ssh) correct ? I guess the query regarding telnet was to determine if at least authentication goes thru successfully. If auth goes thru fine, but there is problem ONLY with home directory, then user would start in / (I think) since she is unable to change directory to her home. -Mandar ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
Re: [PLUG] Error in login as a LDAP user-More detailed step by step
Preparing LDAP database...
Migration failed: saving failed LDIF to /tmp/nis.3257.ldif
-
The contents of /root/migrerr {This file contains errors of the
script.}are:
-
slapadd: line 5: database (dc=example,dc=com) not configured to hold
dc=padl,dc=com
slapadd: line 5: database (dc=example,dc=com) not configured to hold
dc=padl,dc=com

On both server client machine;
4. Output of the command- ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=example,dc=com'
'(objectclass=*)'
# extended LDIF

# LDAPv3
# base dc=example,dc=com with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#
# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object
# numResponses: 1
I don't think LDAP is set correctly. Why the conflict between example.comand
padl.com ?
(Troubleshooting LDAP installation may be out of the scope on this thread)
chown is only one of the problems. You need to be able to successfully run
ldapsearch before trying anything else.
BTW, what does your nsswitch.conf look like ? does it have entry for ldap
for passwd and groups ?
