From 389 Directory Server

Problem with authenticate.

I've installed fedora-ds-1.0.4-1.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm and it seems to be working fine. I can manage users by the console. On another machine i want to use the directory, but when ik log in, in /var/log/messages i get the following error:

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 remote(pam_unix)[3885]: check pass; user unknown

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 remote(pam_unix)[3885]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=pts/2 ruser= rhost=192.168.100.176

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 remote(pam_unix)[3885]: could not identify user (from getpwnam(mvheukelom))

Feb 23 13:07:59 ldap-vm4 login[3885]: User not known to the underlying authentication module

In authconfig i've made the changes to: use ladap and user ldap authentication. I've also filled in my server (IP-number) and my base.

Can someone advise me what to check please....

[richm] For starters, posting to a private Talk page on the wiki is unlikely to get your question any visibility. I suggest posting to the users maillist - see Mailing_Lists for more information. Also, did you see Howto:PAM?

When i use the mailing list i get: Your mail to 'Fedora-directory-devel' with the subject

The reason it is being held:

[richm] You should use fedora-directory-users instead, and please register for that list. If you do not register, you will not see replies to your question - the Reply-To: header is set to fedora-directory-users.
