Hello,
How about this:
Dont create an ldap entry for the root account and use "files ldap" in your
nsswitch.conf?
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
Cheers,
Claus

Betreff: RE: Ldap authentication
Thank you terry for bothering this. Actually I want that super user should
authenticate locally like /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow. Please advice if you
have any suggestion for this.

If you are asking if the superuser account on a Linux system should
authenticate via something other than the local files (/etc/password, /
etc/shadow, etc), then I would remark that that is not something I would
recommend.

Hello,
I have configured openldap for SSO. Now I am authenticating all of my
linux boxes with this SSO. Now I have requirement that my root user
should not authenticate through this SSO. Rest of all users should
authenticate through this.
Can any one have any suggestion for this.
