Hi,
I'm trying to configure an openldap server on 5.4 and I'm unsure of what the
correct settings in nsswitch.conf should be for a 5.4-Release system, since
the default seems to be different to previous releases.
Perhaps someone here might know?
I've been using the guide at http://books.blurgle.ca/read/chapter/1 as a
reference.
This document says you have these lines in your nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
On my 5.4-Release system, the default nsswitch.conf is:
group: compat
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nis
shells: files
So should I have
group: compat ldap
passwd: compat ldap
or
group: files ldap
passwd: files ldap
or some other combination?
Using the 'compat ldap' version, I get errors in /var/log/messages:
May 13 22:42:26 daemon -csh: NSSWITCH(nsparser): /etc/nsswitch.conf line 1:
'compat' used with other sources
May 13 22:42:26 daemon -csh: NSSWITCH(nsparser): /etc/nsswitch.conf line 5:
'compat' used with other sources
Cheers,
