I have this error when I ssh to my LDAP client using the login name on the LDAP server my LDAP client's running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic my LDAP server is Fedora Core 4 and running Fedora Directory Server

ssh [email protected]
cat /var/log/auth.log    //on the client
Dec 18 10:24:17 ubuntu-ltsp sshd[4527]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=billyhost.local  user=billyduc
Dec 18 10:24:17 ubuntu-ltsp sshd[4527]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "uid=billyduc,dc=mydomain,dc=com" (Invalid credentials)
Dec 18 10:24:18 ubuntu-ltsp sshd[4527]: Failed password for billyduc from 192.168.5.121 port 51449 ssh2

Here's my /etc/pam.d/sshd

cat /etc/pam.d/sshd
auth    [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so
auth    required 	pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth    required	pam_permit.so
account sufficient	pam_permit.so

I also edit my /etc/ssh/sshd_config in both client and Server

PasswordAuthentication yes

So I think something wrong with the password when the ssh server do checking
