That "fix" is not necessary. The real fix, I suspect, was that you restarted ssh after making the changes to the config file. Agreed. When you enable LDAP in authconfig, /etc/nsswitch.conf has "ldap" added to the list of sources for passwd and group information, among other things. This file is only read once by any given process. Because sshd forks to handle each new connection, new connections don't "notice" changes to the file unless you restart the listening daemon. Marking worksforme. |
