Hmmm...looks like user tools are missing when using ldap authentication. Various people have different forms of perl scripts to do this from what I found on google. Has anyone has tried modifying the useradd program to work with LDAP just as passwd does?

The openldap-clients package provides several command-line tools for managing a ldap server. The ldapmodify command can be used to add entries, but it is not as simple as useradd. When I need to add a user manually, I usually build a ldif file and use a shell script that uses ldapmodify to run it into the server. Not the simplest process, but it works. -- Justin Crabtree Java Programmer Ozarks Technical Community College 447-7533 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
