[Fedora-directory-users] ssh login fail

Hi, I am trying to get a RHEL4 box to LDAP authenticate against FDS (also on RHEL4) and failing..... In the logs (messages) I have, Sep 10 13:30:52 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd(pam_unix)[2284]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=vuwunicvadmin02.res.vuw.ac.nz user=jonesst1 Sep 10 13:30:52 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd[2284]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server Sep 10 13:30:52 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd[2284]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server Sep 10 13:31:05 vuwunicvfwall02 sshd(pam_unix)[2284]: 2 more authentication failures; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=vuwunicvadmin02.res.vuw.ac.nz user=jonesst1 Any ideas why? And how to fix? Also is there a way to search the archive for this list? When I do a, ldapsearch -x -h 130.195.87.249 -b dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz "(ou=Users)" The server replies so FDS appears to be running OK.... Also is there a way to search the archive for this list? I have tried Googling with no luck... regards Steven Jones Senior Linux/Unix/San/Vmware System Administrator APG -Technology Integration Team Victoria University of Wellington Phone: +64 4 463 6272
