I configured my linux workstations to use our os x server for user authentication and it worked like a charm…the only problem is, when I try to log onto a linux machine as root, it tells me I must immediately change my ldap password…it won’t actually allow the change to occur, and no matter how many times I try to log in, the same thing happens. This happens even if I have a password for root set in /etc/shadow (or /etc/passwd for that matter). It evens happens if I remove the root password on the linux box. I don’t know what is going on but I can’t switch the machines over if root access would be disabled.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Almost there… I had the same problem, until i found out that you _must_ use shadow groups and passwords on the linux box.
On Debian you type:
dpkg-reconfigure passwd
no md5passwd, yes enable shadow passwords.good luck,

I tried this but my system (sarge) only give me the option of shadow yes/no …
How to get the md5passwd turned off ???
I am trying to authenticate against an older Solaris over nis.
Thanks
