After the up-grade, everything worked fine, except that none of the
local accounts could log into the box, even though WGM allowed me to
manipulate the users' data. The two LDAP-based accounts, which are
both admins, worked flawlessly. Since this is a low-volume server at
the moment, and because I have all the accounts pazzwerds in a small
secure database, I opted to save time and simply delete and recreate
them using the same UID and GID for each. After I'd spent 10 minutes
deleting/recreating, everything worked as advertised.
This is covered by a post from Josh:
You would think crap like this would end up in the release notes you
read _before_ you install it.
Hey Eric. Actually, I'd already read that article, and although I can't
be 100% sure, I don't think it applies in my case. The box was upgraded
on Monday, but no one noticed the problem until Wednesday afternoon
(When I said low-volume, I meant it!), so there was ample time for LDAP
to re-index. Also, the problem was with the local accounts, not the
LDAP accounts.
Best,
Ted
