Re: User Authentication Hangs.. I'm losing my sanity!

[Rich West <Rich.West@wesmo.com>]

True... I pretty much went from RH8 nss_ldap 207/pam_ldap 161 to a RH9 
system with the same versions.  I've even upgraded nss_ldap and pam_ldap 
to the latest versions just for my own sanity

Because of the history of my original server (the OS being upgraded 
manually sooooo many times), I started having minor troubles compiling 
newer versions of apps (ie: I couldn't compile PHP 4.3.3).  So, 
migrating to a slightly newer machine running a fresh install of RH9 
seemed a logical step.

I *thought* I had the authentication mechanism working properly, but 
apparently I was wrong. :(

From the help I got here, it appears that my OpenLDAP installation IS 
working properly and the problem is the authentication layer.. It's 
pretty much what I expected since phpldapadmin, mod_auth_ldap, and 
ldapsearch are able to query and modify the databases accordingly.

The part that gets me now is that my test machine (a different vanilla 
RH9 box) works just find with the ldap server.  getent hosts returns the 
right data and user logins work.  Gack!!
