ldap bug in hardy

[Christian Stegmann]

Hello,

I am facing similar problems. Despite a lot of effort I could not get
my LDAP client setup to run on Hardy (it runs smoothly on Dapper on
another machine). First I followed strictly
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication. However,
/etc/libnss-ldap.conf or /etc/libpam-ldap.conf are not generated after
the installation of the packages.
Then I tried to reproduce the setup in Dapper by manually editing
/etc/libnss-ldap.conf and /etc/libpam-ldap.conf. I also commented out
the aforementioned pam_smbpass.so related lines. This also failed,
getent passwd does not work.
I can access the server using ldapsearch -x though. Any help appreciated.

thanks,
christian
