Hello!
Thanks very much for your very quick reply.
Yes, paul, the local user, exists in /etc/passwd, but paul.d, the AD user does not. I think you have the two users muddled up :-)
The adquery on paul.d results in:
accountExpires:Never
accountLocked:false
accountDisabled:false
So, that all looks good.
The su - paul.d resulted in:
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
This is VERY encouraging :-)
ssh -l paul.d localhost results in repeated requests for the password.
A reboot has definately been done since the installation. Now you mention pam configuration, and also state that it is specific to the GUI, so does that mean that there are two problems - one stopping the ssh from working and the other preventing logins from the GUI?
Thanks again for your help - really pleasing to see su - working.
Paul.
