RE: Ldap

Everything else?  You mean besides ssh?  Well..  I'm definitely not an
expert in PAM nor Ldap.  I've been working hard core with it the last month
and learned a great deal (we're implementing ldap for single source sign
on).  We plan on using it for much more including Apache authentication,
address book management and so on.  Other services such as login seem to
work fine with ldap setup this way.  I haven't tried many beyond login, ssh
and apache (with ldap authentication).

Something I'm unhappy about ldap and authentication is a lack of
flexability.  When ldap is unavailable then local files are not queried. 
It's really weird.  I have my nsswitch.conf setup to check local files first
then ldap.  You would think I can still login with local user accounts
regardless of my ldap status.  Nope.  Someone in the redhat list mentioned
it was a bug with nss_ldap. ::sigh::

To resolve this problem I'm setting up 3 ldap servers :-)  Just in case. 
Otherwise I'm thrilled over our solution.  Now if we could only resolve the
pam_mkhomedir problem with ssh running privsep :-)

One thing at a time ::grinz::
