Dear all
Sorry for this post, I know its an oldie, unfortunately its also a
goodie that I'm not getting past despite the TID mountain.
The error is: "File Protocol error occurred: cannot open the NCS
version file on the selected cluster. The Cluster software may not
currently be running on this server."
Ok - now for the list of things that have been checked:
pam.d settings from numerous tids - none of these have had any effect.
LUM - working ok for all users.
id admin
returns values and doing it the other way to find the users also shows
admin with the same uid and gid. No admin in local passwd files.
owcimomd debug and iManager debug show an "authentication failure"

The same username and password connects fine to iManager in the first
instance and only fails when using the Cluster plugin. In fact, other
pam enabled service like ssh work ok as well - it just seems to be
openwbem based requests that fail.
Looking at it I'd be looking at the pam authentication plugin being
used or the config for openwbem but I don't seem to be getting very far
with it. Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks
