Using "ldap" for the passwd policy.

Searching ldap for jbloggs

User name: jbloggs

user Id: 10000

Group Id: 2000

Gecos:

Home Directory: /home/jbloggs

Shell: /bin/sh

Switch configuration: Terminates Search

This tests the Name Service Switch conﬁguration in /etc/nsswitch.conf. If

you do not see output like that above, check /etc/nsswitch.conf for proper

conﬁguration.

Step 2. Use other commands to display information about users in the directory,

making sure the output is as expected:

pwget -n

username

nsquery hosts

host_to_find

grget -n

groupname

ls -l

NOTE While you can use the following commands to verify your conﬁguration,

these commands enumerate the entire passwd or group database, which

may reduce network and directory server performance for large

databases:

pwget (with no options)

grget (with no options)

listusers

logins

Step 3. Use the beq search utility to search for the following services: pwd

(password), grp (group), shd (shadow password), srv (service), prt

(protocol), rpc (RPC), hst (host), net (network), ngp (netgroup), and grm

(group membership). An example beq command using name as the

search key, grp as the service, and ldap as the library is shown below.

./beq -k n -s grp -l /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.1 nss_status........

NSS_SUCCESS

pw_name...........(iuser1)

pw_passwd.........(*)

pw_uid............(101)

pw_gid............(21)

pw_age............()
