is there a brief turorial, guide or something to correctly setup an openldap directory service to authenticate users, and using pam ?
I found http://enterprise.linux.com/enterprise/05/09/15/1930256.shtml?tid=129 quite good.
That is one of the tutorials I tried, but it didn't work. Building the ldap directory is _relatively_ easy, it is getting the clients to authenticate is nigh impossible, at least in my case.
I have to admit that I didn't try it on a SUSE, but on a Debian system -- but the distribution differences should be significant in that case, should they? You have pam_ldap installed? You configured nsswitch.conf and pam.d/common-* to use it? Or, completely different, did you try out LDAP Client Configuration in yast? It's supposed to enabling user authentication via OpenLDAP. -- At least, that what's the help file says; I have not used it (yet). Keep us posted on your progress, if you have any.
