My first impression is: - pam-ldap is used for authentication: allow the user to login to the machine - nss-ldap is used by the system when it needs to resolve things like gid<->group name, user home directory, etc. I will give it a try soon. Though I am looking one step ahead, how to allow a user to authenticate to this machine and not that machine, using the same ldap directory. Bests, Olivier
