Hi friends,

i am using centos5.6 to configured openldap server. also i have configured ldap client, which is joined with ldap server without any error using this command
authconfig-tui
[*] Use Ldap[*] Use Shadow Passwords[*] Use LDAP Authentication

now i don't want to join ldap client(another centos). so i was de-selected
above mentioned.

after that i am try to login from centos client, but it's asking current password & new password.
i.e

[root@server home]# su - user1
Changing password for user user1.
Changing password for user1
(current) UNIX password:
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on your username
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on your username
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on your username
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[user1@server ~]$

if you know ans for this, please give the solution.

what is the problem as you understand it? If you're not using ldap, then ldap is irrelevant, so you just need to change your password..?? You seem to be very clearly not giving a good enough password to change it... so use a better password.

i have already created many user's(local user account's) in centos(client).

after deselect this

[ ] Use Ldap[ ] Use Shadow Passwords[ ] Use LDAP Authentication

i can't able to login my local user account.

no? What are you saying no to??
