Description Sebastian Freundt 2012-01-05 12:19:01 UTC

Description of problem:
After editing nsswitch.conf and pam_ldap.conf (etc.) myself (because the graphical wizard wouldn't let me, see my other bug report for that), there is still no LDAP users anywhere in the system.  nsswitch.conf is ignored completely, my LDAP server isn't even queried.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
16

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit nsswitch.conf to say passwd files ldap
2. edit passwd to say +::::::
3. adapt pam_ldap.conf to your local situation
4. id <someuser>
  
Actual results:
LDAP server isn't contacted at all.

Expected results:
Users from the LDAP server should have been resolved to their user ids.

My bad, I forgot that under Fedora you have to symlink pam_ldap.conf to nss_ldap.conf.
