Check if you have pam_tally configured.

Maybe, the user failed it's password and you need to reset the failed login attempts.

Hi,

I have a curious problem where a few (important) users cannot log into the Red Hat Enterprise Server 4 update 4 systems. However, most users (including myself) can log in. These users can log in fine to ldap'd RHES3 Update 6 systems.

The FDS logs indicate a normal fetch of the user's attributes with no errors. The /var/log/secure on Red Hat 4 simply says

sshd[8898]: Failed password for <username> from <hex>...

Yet they can log into other LDAP based systems, including a few other RHE4 systems, that all go back to the same FDS.

I have deleted their accounts and recreated them, which usually fixes strange problems like this, but no luck. Some accounts are old (date back to FDS 7.1) and others are new.

I examined the DS attributes for these users, and the only difference I could find was the "Object class" attribute was missing the "account" value. So, I added it, but to no avail.

I compared /etc/pam.d/system-auth and they are essentially identical between RHES3 and 4 systems.

/var/log/secure also has a "error" Could not get shadow information for <username>" but that happens on all users. It seems to be a soft error, but I would like to get rid of it.

Can anyone give me a clue where to look?

Thanks! Ken
