[Fedora-directory-users] Authentication problems

[Per Qvindesland]

Hi 

Thanks again for the response.


I have managed to find some logs now that to Rich's message but I am unsure
of what they mean:
[30/Jan/2009:10:28:49 -0500] conn=46 fd=66 slot=66 connection from
83.140.187.52 to 83.140.187.43
[30/Jan/2009:10:28:49 -0500] conn=46 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 version=3
[30/Jan/2009:10:28:49 -0500] conn=46 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0

filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=pq))" attrs="uid userPassword

[30/Jan/2009:10:28:49 -0500] conn=46 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0
etime=0
[30/Jan/2009:10:28:49 -0500] conn=46 op=-1 fd=66 closed - B1

Does any one have any idea?
