OpenLDAP Setup



I am attempting to set up a LDAP server on Redhat Enterprise 4 and
have a user profile issue I can't quite figure out. I have the client
machine, which has the same OS, setup to authenticate to the LDAP
server and it works fine except when creating a new user. After the
new user is created on the LDAP server and I telnet or ssh into the
client machine, the client machine is not creating the default
profiles for the user. I log in and it simply throws me to the /
directory rather than the home directory specified in LDAP. The
behavior I would expect is for the client machine to create the home
directory specified (if it doesn't already exist) and load the
default .bash files. I can manually create the home directory and the
user is thrown into the home directory but still no default .bash
files. I can switch off LDAP authentication and create a user locally
and the default profiles are loaded fine. Any ideas?
