[K12OSN] Ubuntu LTSP cannot authenticating to LDAP through GDM, but works wit

[Glenn Arnold]

I figured it out.  For some reason the order of the nsswitch.conf needs
to be different I had the nsswitch.conf like the following:

passwd:         ldap files
group:          ldap files
shadow:         ldap files

needs to be switched to the following.

passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap

After I changed this it worked.  I will send my config files when I get
them tweaked the way I like it.

No, the ldap server is not local.  I am connecting my edubuntu breezy
ltsp server to my RHES 3.0 ldap server.  If it was Red Hat I would of
probably had this done with RedHat authconfig. ;-) But, I like
Edubuntu's Desktop better and I was following these web link to manually
setup ldap as a client

Glenn,

What are you using to set up the authentication?  Is LDAP running
locally
or on another server?  In Fedora/RH...one can simply use
authconfig....what are you using for Ubuntu?   Are you doing it manually
and if so....can you outline the steps?
