[Techtalk] ldap, pam and passwd

[Maria McKinley]

Hi there,

Passwd is not working on my system (Debian), and I can't figure out why.

maria at getz:~$ passwd
Enter login(LDAP) password:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
LDAP password information update failed: Unknown error
use bind to verify old password
passwd: Permission denied

ssh, login, and other services work fine.

Here is what /etc/pam.d/passwd looks like:

password        required        pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3
password        sufficient      pam_ldap.so use_authtok
password        sufficient      pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 shadow
password        required        pam_deny.so

In slapd.conf:

access to attribute=userPassword
         by dn="..." write
         by self write
         by anonymous auth
         by * none

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks,
maria
