Re: SSH to LDAP

Hello, I am tiring to get SSHD to connect to a remote LDAP server for
authentication. Can't seem to get the config file right. When I try to
login I get the following error

PAM: authentication thread exited unexpectedly

Using the ID command I can see that my id is in the LDAP server and the
linux can find it.

This sounds like a PAM/LDAP problem rather than a SSH one - does the
PAM-LDAP auth work for other access methods than SSH, e.g. console
login? The PAM config should be basically the same for both (mostly
modulo "secure tty" stuff, as sshd (at least OpenSSH) has its own config
for allowing root login).
