Re: LDAP admin password configuring libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap

It is needed for actions where local user is root, so local root
could, if necessary change users passwords in LDAP.
If that is not desirable, you do not have to use it. You can put same
name/password that you have put for ordinary lookups.

Hi

I have setup a server with LDAP and Samba. Now i want to LDAP hosts
authenticate with the LDAP server too, so i have installed in each
host libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap and nscd. Everything works fine, but I
don't know why these packages need the ldap admin password. Although
the ldap.secret file is not world readable, i don't want the users
could see it with sudo. And what would happen if i change the ldap
admin password? Do I have to change it in every host?

NB: I have configured libnss-ldap without the needing of the
passwords, but I couldn't configure libpam-ldap to not use it.

Thanks in advance.
