I've seen mention of this problem on the list previously, but no solutions that work for me... My setup: - A SuSE Linux 9.3 OpenLDAP server - A number of OpenSUSE 10.2 machines, with a very limited number of local accounts, that authenticate against the aforementioned OpenLDAP server. - A couple of SuSE Linux 9.3 client machines, with a limited number of local accounts, authenticating against the aforementioned OpenLDAP server. When logging into the OpenSUSE 10.2 machines, _some_ LDAP users are denied access with the message "Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive". Some LDAP users, however, are able to log in without a problem. I have not found a consistent distinction between the users who are allowed in, and the ones who aren't. When logging into the OpenSUSE 10.2 machines, non-root local users are denied access with the same message. However, if I change the password for the user (as root, by doing `passwd <user>`), they are given access a minute or two later. Note that there is a time lag before access is opened up. When logging into the SuSE Linux 9.3 machines, all users -- local and LDAP -- are able to log in fine. Anyone have thoughts/suggestions as to places that I might start looking. My log files are showing me absolutely nothing (which I consider something of a problem in and of itself, but...)
