I feel obligated to say that I would be extremely uncomfortable running this configuration as opposed to using the Kerberos password change protocol. I don't believe there is any advantage to doing it this way and quite a few disadvantages around making sure that this mechanism is and stays sufficiently secure. If you're using Kerberos plus LDAP for nsswitch information, you shouldn't need to install or use an LDAP PAM module. You should also never do authentication via LDAP if you can avoid it; it destroys some of the security advantages that Kerberos offers. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- libpam-krb5 default configuration does not allow login for LDAP users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
