Actually I misspoke earlier -I meant run the command 'setup' from the terminal and select authentication. From there you should see "User Information" and "Authentication" columns. Just check LDAP in "User Information" and you should see getent populate the passwords. That normally does the trick.. pretty simple but if that doesn't work I'd check your /etc/ldap.conf is setup correctly (I mostly have to just add the host information and base dn). Other wise your LDAP server doesn't have the attributes its' expecting from its queries to generate user account information.

Also, when I ran authconfig, that didn’t help. The server still queries the ldap server, but the users don’t actually show when I run getent passwd….. could it be something with the rwm mappings?

Sounds like it's a problem with your client side pam_ldap authentication. There's a whole buch of steps to get that working, just google it. If you have a redhat variant authconfig or setup will step you through it. It would help if you could post your system_auth file.

Hello,
When I issue “getent passwd” I can see it query the ldapserver for all the information and the server is returning the correct information. However, “getent passwd” doesn’t actually show the users that are in ldap. I am not sure where my problem might be. Can anyone offer any suggestions on where to look?
