Hi, I have user accounts in LDAP and authentication is done via pam_krb5. nss_ldap is installed and configured in terms of /etc/nssswitch.conf. However, when I run passwd I receive the following message: passwd: Sorry, `passwd' can only change passwords for local or NIS users. Judging by pam_krb5(8) this module supports the changing of passwords and it is just passwd that is refusing to change a non-local (i.e. not in /etc/passwd) password. /etc/nssswitch.conf passwd: files ldap So, here's the question: can I work around this? Is there any way to make passwd change passwords for user accounts stored in LDAP? Maybe this will require some hacking of passwd.c?
