The act of logging in is managed by /etc/pam.d/*, not /etc/nsswitch.conf.

This is my /etc/nsswitch.conf: | group: files ldap | hosts: files dns | networks: files | passwd: files ldap | shells: files And /etc/pam.d/system: auth sufficient pam_unix.so no_warn auth required /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so no_warn use_first_p= ass My guess is you used required for both modules, which would require authentication to succeed against both user databases. > And another question.

We have two different LDAP providers with different subtrees that get "glued" together by a DNS round-robin of LDAP consumers. This round-robin provides a single, unified view of our directory to all our LDAP clients. --=20 Chris Cowart Network Technical Lead Network & Infrastructure Services, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley --J2SCkAp4GZ/dPZZf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAwAGBQJJK0IGAAoJEIGh6j3cHUNP0VoQAIv66cBUYmlxWXJy6QiVqHGM A09GQShTz/G0vLvgdTrUASoXd056APNq4JRTGxT5GprZbHJCVgJgmtTyvar0n+qh n7cNSLBctUnvGo3lvbWYiHOZDsXw9PckKNUynzkuyh+de7QFfv4+v9IEXJQ7sLCe IZgKfypxBkid2JOoq3rAlcivGIxmNxLgT+OndnqDz+8x4J4a65sJUQn3IFOVZhie sCoGujCcHi5lLzIIc+5vKqyHyB+WHnqzWGxDn+XVoeGpY8Idv9xjWyMVgUK9cEKd WL5ONDRhMZfbjiG0Tkv2z75Ggq2qmV83cyjXwExpJoZWMtxK6QpipACE9l87y2DI WRAaolF2FoQ/V9hY+3jOKt3kS7pZna84Qnyaqq4+pI2pg+QLMRwVNdooTSb8QRl2 k8isDVOh3ZmzaB2MoAkaY2qDyoiPJDyiKIKPLDK1hTlri02sqXBGtJM6YPZaXni6 LyEBtix5dY9ZRsdTggs098VWKIM27gegCjHCh182rznZK0JKjsE9/t/mMdNLVUOy ugivUKsxiB7gDq76AFiLUWuMc0E1v11ATsxY9iKs+VmhPo7veAvfbuyDO4OWRleS ByMApP8BvP8rh3IF5mgqXZ3aBDgc8pbXNZi311h1GZPaHz6hyMf891TV7vSLUN1q fxLC+clX3wr5E2pWwqNU =diwm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --J2SCkAp4GZ/dPZZf--
