Suse 9.2 help! AFS/Kerberos/LDAP

Hi everybody!

I'm facing some problems in making suse 9.2 pro authenticate over out
KDCs and use the afs namespace for home directories.

First, the AFS client seems to support only *one* ip address. I entered
just one and ok, it seems that the cell is working anyway --- is it
enough the CellSrvDB? I don't know anymore!

===[/etc/sysconfig/afs-client]===
THIS_CELL_SERVER="ip.address"
THIS_CELL_SERVER_NAME="cell.name"

Now, the problem is Kerberos5 and LDAP. We have MIT K5 along with
OpenLDAP just for uid/gid and home dirs both on debian stable (we have
other infos of course, but none of them are important from this point of
view). LDAP has *NO* base dn. We have gentoo, debian, knoppix and redhat
clients all working, but no luck with suse!

I can kinit and I gain the right token. The authentication from pam and
nss_ldap are NOT working. Anyway, I don't see anything bad in my
configuration:

===[/etc/openldap/ldap.conf]===
base
host dir.cell.name slave.cell.name
nss_base_passwd
nss_base_shadow
nss_base_group

===[/etc/nsswitch.conf]===

group: files ldap

===[/etc/pam.d/login]===

===[/etc/krb5.conf]===
[libdefaults]
         clockskew = 300
         default_realm = CELL.NAME

[realms]
CELL.NAME = {
         kdc = krb.cell.name
         kdc = slave.cell.name
         default_domain = cell.name
         kpasswd_server = krb.cell.name
}

[domain_realm]
         .cell.name = CELL.NAME
         cell.name = CELL.NAME

[logging]
         default = SYSLOG:NOTICE:DAEMON
         kdc = FILE:/var/log/kdc.log
         kadmind = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[appdefaults]
pam = {
         ticket_lifetime = 1d
         renew_lifetime = 1d
         forwardable = true
         proxiable = false
         retain_after_close = false
         minimum_uid = 0
         debug = false
         afs_cells = cell.name
}

I get this in /var/log/messages:

Dec 27 16:25:20 plm02 -- MARK --

Anyway... I can use kerberos, afs but NOT ldap with nsswitch. LDAP is
working CORRECTLY under GSSAPI!

plm02:/var/log # tokens

plm02:/var/log # tokens

Tokens held by the Cache Manager:

    --End of list--

I can use AFS after all:

plm02:/var/log # cd /afs/cell.name/usr/u/username/private/
plm02:/afs/cell.name/usr/u/username/private/ # touch a
plm02:/afs/cell.name/usr/u/username/private/ # rm a

plm02:/afs/cell.name/usr/u/username/private/ # fs listacl .
Access list for . is
Normal rights:
   system:administrators rlidwka
   username rlidwka

But nsswitch isn't working!

plm02:/afs/cell.name/usr/u/username/private/ # groups username
id: username: No such user

plm02:/afs/cell.name/usr/u/username/private/ # ldapsearch "cn=plm"

You're using SuSE... so... what's going on here? :(
