I've followed Vincent's instructions auth-ldap2 on my Mandrake 9.2
server, yet it doesn't seem to work. I've put a bunch of users into my
ldap database using directory_administrator - I can confirm that they
are there and work properly with apache authentication - but they don't
create users on the system, and they don't show up when I do:

getent shadow

Thus, all the security features, like expiration of passwords, aren't
working.
    

Do they show up with 'getent passwd'? getent shadow isn't necessary to
expire passwords (if you are going to be authenticating via pam, which
is more secure than nss and getent shadow IMHO).
