I just had a year long expirience with padl.com's nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules under RedHat Linux 6.1 and it was a complete disaster. We had to move to NIS after [almost] one year of struggling. There's still PR open in redhat, and there are more bugs that I know that exist in these modules, but I didn't feel like fixing them. If you'd like to know more about it, you can contact me off the list. Take care. On Tue, 26 Sep 2000, Steven E.
