>I have installed SL 6.1 On two different servers.  One Installed back 
>2011 in Oct I believe, and second one last December.  Anyway I think I 
>have run into a bug with ldap authentication.
>
>On my newer SL server looks like the ldap client cannot retrieve any 
>accounts where the account name is shorter than 3 characters.  
>Where as 
>my older SL server can retrieve them just fine.  I checked the version 
>of the nslcd daemon on both servers and they are both at:

>But looking at the size of both the nslcd binaries, I found them to be

>-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 138120 May 21  2011 nslcd.otw (The new 
>SL server)

>Anyway I fixed my problem by copying the nslcd binary from the older 
>server to my newer one and now it can pick up the accounts with login 
>names shorter than 3 characters.

>Funny thing is that I could create a local user account with a 2

>pull it up just fine. But if it's on ldap server it would not see the 
>account.
