Description Igor 2000-10-23 12:17:16 UTC 
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
...
passwd: files ldap

After check "files" exit UNAVAIL instead SUCCESS at login.
After check "files" exit NOTFOUND instead SUCCESS at start mc.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2000-10-23 15:07:09 UTC 
My first suspicion would be nss_ldap module, because all other nss modules
seem to work well.
Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-10-24 18:57:32 UTC 
Have you also enabled use of LDAP for authentication?  Are the network
interfaces up?
Comment 3 Igor 2000-10-25 05:55:25 UTC 
This happen if LDAP server not enabled. But login must be successful
in any case if I am local user.

I think that this is a dup of bug# 63631 
 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63631 
 
I think that your problem only occures when the ldap server is offline or 
unavalable.
Comment 5 Igor 2002-05-06 10:49:17 UTC 
This bug appear is absent in recent versions of RH.

Bug #63631 is a dup of bug #26449. 
Please pay attention to it. In the bottom of #26449 problem is resolved by me.
