If you're using Heimdal's KDC there is a much less clumsy solution - just configure your KDC to store its information in LDAP. Then you can include the KDC-specific attributes in your lddapadd requests, and manage both sets of users solely through LDAP. This works very well with OpenLDAP; I think it should also work with FDS 1.1 now that they've integrated ldapi:// support (but haven't tried it myself). You can then also configure OpenLDAP to automatically synchronize password changes between LDAP and Kerberos (since all the information is in the LDAP entry). I believe recent versions of MIT Kerberos also offer this possibility, but I haven't heard of any success stories with it so far. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
