If you're not familiar with installing ports, I recommend reading the handbook section on it: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html Beyoned that, the OpenLDAP (www.openldap.org) web site is a lot of help, I agree that there could use to be some tutorials written on this subject - I should get off my butt and write one. My suggestion for now: Install OpenLDAP, dig into the OpenLDAP docs and see what you can get working, if you get snagged, contact the list with specific questions - it's a lot easier to get an answer on this list if you have a specific question like: "I've installed OpenLDAP from the ports, but every time I try to start it I get error #20" or something. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services (412) 793-4257 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
