Hi all. I have Apple Xserve with Open Dir running. I have presently ldap
client running on linux for authentication. Here's the strange thing:
When a user uses "passwd" in linux, changes his/her password, *both* the new
and old password still work!
I tried looking in /etc/{passwd,shadow,group,gshadow} to see if there's some
new entry there. Nope.
I tried rebooting the client. No change.
I did not try rebooting the server (people using it.)
I double-checked /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
And here's one more clue:
Suppose my initial password is pass1
And then I change password to pass2. Now "pass1" and "pass2" both
work.
And then I change password to pass3. Now "pass1" and "pass3" both
work, but not "pass2"
Any suggestions?
