Using Ubuntu 8.10.

I am following the guide at: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverg...ap-server.html

When I get to the line:

sudo auth-client-config -a -p lac_ldap

I get:

Error in updating the file: 'pam_account' not found
--
Errors found. Aborting (no changes made)


I've seen others with the same problem online but no concrete solution.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks...

Have a look at Bug #295008?

Interesting...

So I added the following lines to /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d/ldap-auth-config:

pam_auth=auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass
pam_account=account sufficient pam_ldap.so
account required pam_unix.so
pam_password=password sufficient pam_ldap.so
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5
pam_session=session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/
session optional pam_ldap.so
session optional pam_foreground.so

and now I am past that error. But I don't understand _why_. According to the thread, all I was supposed to have to have done was to follow:

<blockquote>This is not a bug in auth-client-config. ldap-auth-config supplies the lac_ldap profile. ldap-auth-config now utilizes the new pam_auth_update framework, which is why there are no pam entries in the file. It does still ship an NSS profile, which can be used by auth-client-config like so:
$ sudo auth-client-config -t nss -p lac_ldap
