What about your entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for the user
you're trying to login as? Do they still exist?
If yes: I'm a little bit out of luck then for now. I don't have a
machine right now, where I could check this out. Maybe
tommorow... Check that this is not a simple (?) password or
encryption-method issue.
If no: Apart from pam_ldap you'll also need nss_ldap, then. PAM
really is responsible for the authentication only. For looking
up other data (home directory, login shell, uid (?) etc.)
you'll need nss_ldap and an appropriate /etc/nsswitch.conf.
I suspect it's the latter case, since your LDAP entry also contains
these additional entries usually found in
/etc/{passwd,shadow}. Installing nss_ldap is required then as far as I
know.
Btw: These questions seem to arise quite often. Isn't there a HOWTO or
something similar describing the process of "ldapifying" user and
account management step by step? At least a simple introduction?
Regards,
Stephan
