[INUG-Users] Cannot connect to nco_pa_* commands

[Dobson, Joseph Wade (Joseph)]

Arun,

  Along with the other advice given here, make sure that you also have an nco_objserv file in the /etc/pam.d directory.  You can use your etc/pam.d/system-auth file to create it.  Also, if you have not done it, make sure that your /etc/pam.d/passwd file is up to date. And, not to be too basic here, but make sure you are starting PA with the -authenticate PAM switch.

Thanks,

Arun, keep in mind that PAD uses the operating system login/password instead
of the ObjectServer login/password, and that whatever ID you use needs to be
in the ncoadmin group.  Even the root user has to be in the ncoadmin group.

(For the purists -- there is an option to change the name of the group used
to verify PAD connections (default is ncoadmin), but I bet that was not done
here.)
