Re: Problem with getent passwd

Actually I misspoke earlier -I meant run the command 'setup' from the
terminal and select authentication. From there you should see "User
Information" and "Authentication" columns. Just check LDAP in "User
Information" and you should see getent populate the passwords.
That normally does the trick.. pretty simple but if that doesn't work
I'd check your /etc/ldap.conf is setup correctly (I mostly have to just
add the host information and base dn). Other wise your LDAP server
doesn't have the attributes its' expecting from its queries to generate
user account information.
