Apparently the problem you saw was that you hadn't rebooted, and (for
some reason I don't yet understand) LDAP wasn't properly initialized
to do authentication.
But you might also see a message like this: "The system administrator
has disabled your account". That message comes from the user's shell
being set to /bin/false:
[root at ltsp ~]# getent passwd | grep tcat
tcat:x:1006:513:Tom Cat:/home/tcat:/bin/false
To change that if you wish:
[root at ltsp ~]# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/IDEALX/sbin/
[root at ltsp ~]# smbldap-usermod -s /bin/bash tcat
[root at ltsp ~]# getent passwd | grep tcat
tcat:x:1006:513:Tom Cat:/home/tcat:/bin/bash
Uh-oh. I thought that was going to fix it but it didn't. I can still
log in from Windoze just fine, but tcat can't ssh into my ltsp box or
log in through the GUI.
I tried rebooting and it made no difference.
My turn to ask for help - anybody have any ideas?
