[Lias] OpenLDAP

[Simon Bryan]

Hi all,
I am trying to setup OpenLDAP and Samba 3 to replace our Windows servers (bye bye
licences).
All seems to be working well with the LDAP server except I can't login using a user
in the LDAP directory.
I have been following the SAMBA-LDAP-PDC Howto and the SAMBA HowTO Collection and
have managed to trouble shoot all problems so far. The documentation now says that I
should be able to login as an LDAP only user, but the users are 'unknown'.

I did have some issues with authconfig and ldap where it put in a number of options
which locked me out of the machine completely (no ssh or console access,
thankgoodness for Webmin!). However I have adjusted system-auth to be the same as in
the docs. Except there is a mysterious $ISA in the paths, eg
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so. I was getting errors in the message log related to
pam_ldap until I removed that from the path for the pam_ldap.so entries.

Any clues anyone?
