Summary: native ldap and sudo

Thanks to jrwren@xxxxxxxxxxx, who provided the following hints, which worked. My original question was how to make sudo work with the Solaris 9 ldap client (with password aging enabled).

preliminary SUMMARY Problems with some UIDs

Thanks to: Caspar Dik Michael J Watson Reggie Beaver Matthew Stier James Zhao A couple of suggestions here are to: zap the /var/adm/lastlogin as this could have some spurious entries in it. restart the Naming Service Cache Daemon in it. I shall give these a try next time the problem crops up. For information, the user simply gets a momentary message that they are not permitted to log on before closing their session. We are also using telnet rather than rlogin so there are no issues with .rhosts. Another suggestion is that some packages could be messing up the permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. We have not recently installed any packages on this system and it does not affect all users. Another suggestion was that there may be a restricitve umask somewhere though this is also standard for all users. Thanks for the suggestions and I will give another update when the next user crops up.
