LDAP/PAM errors ???

[Alan Meyer_4]

I have a server which used to be a test LDAP server. Due to conflistc with scheduling software, the LDAP service was removed and, according to the administrator in charge of it, "destroyed". Now, I am getting the enclosed errors in the syslog and am curious as to what is causing them and how I can resolve them.


open_module: stat(/usr/lib/security/libpam_ldap.1) failed: No such file or direy
load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/libpam_ldap.1
load_modules: pam_sm_acct_mgmt() missing

I'm assuming you're running at init level 3. Look in /sbin/rc3.d and see if the ldap server is being started there. I'm guessing that while the ldap software may have been deconfigured or uninstalled, the startup script is still trying to start it, and may even be able to run a piece of it (possibly). Look for a file starting with "S" and see if it could be an ldap service.

Nope, nothing there trying to start LDAP

check your /etc/pam.conf file.

comment the ldap enteries if there are any and just use the libpam_unix.1 entries.

also it might be in you nsswitch.conf. looking to ldap first.

Give Marvin a cigar... That was it, left over entries for ldap in the pam.conf file.

Thanks...
