Ubuntu 7.10 LDAP Server

[Rokurosv]

So I'm doing some tests to see if I can create a LDAP server + Domain controler with Samba on Ubuntu 7.10. It might seem weird to use such an old release but I've seen a few guides on that particular version and I thought I'd give it a tr using this guide

So far I'm good until I modify the pam.d and nsswitch with auth-client, after reboot I'm unable to log in to the system and I'm forced to go into safe mode and restore the backups of those files.

What should I be looking for to prevent this from happening? I'm assuming that it's essential to modify these files in order to enable the LDAP authentication on the server.

Thanks for your time

How are you even able to install any packages with 7.10?
