We have a number of Fedora 14 clients configured to authenticate from a 389-server LDAP tree. We also use nscd. Initial (GDM) login works fine; any form of incorrect password will not login. Once logged in, a user locks the screen. Unlocking only requires the user to type the first 8 characters of their password. This can either be just the first 8, or the first 8 plus any random characters - the result is the same: the screen unlocks. I've verified this on two of our client machines and I get the same issue. This does NOT affect local user accounts. I cannot replicate this with a local account.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I'm curious as to what the password hash looks like? I'm curious as to if it is using a DES hash, as opposed to any other type of hash. Any chance you can describe the hash as being a DES hash, or any other type of hash? Also, any chance you can provide relevant pam configuration file? I'm not sure without looking if it is /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver, and any file it may reference in the password (if it references system-auth).
The only thing I can say is that within the LDAP tree, the passwords are {CRYPT} (since thats what 389-console appears to default to).

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
