LDAP client/ HP-UX /etc/passwd entry format

[Joseph Hoh]

I have configured a HP-UX server to be a LDAP client with LDAP-UX. What should my /etc/passwd entry look like? DO I need an entry in /etc/passwd? When I login in it prompts me for an LDAP password but it fails?

hi

nsswitch.conf should look like this

passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap



then move pam.ldap to pam.conf


try pwget and see if you can see the user from the ldap server.

What about the format of /etc/passwd ?

Should there be a password field - should it be blank - should it have a encrypted password ?
