Excluding console authentication when using LDAP

ciphyre · 06-10-2009, 06:38 PM

Using Fedora Directory Server for authentication but do not want to have LDAP authenticate when accessing the console so that admins can still gain access to servers even if LDAP is unavailable.

Is there a way to exclude the console from using ldap for authentication and just use the local file for auth?

Thanks.

You'll have to modify /etc/pam.d/login to allow only local access. Back it up first and have a rescue cd ready.
