--Apple-Mail-1-770426523 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Friends, Now that I've successfully assembled my LDAP enabled FreeBSD machine with pam_ldap and nss_ldap, I'm looking for a way to allow users to administer their accounts through a web browser. Webmin and Usermin appear to be excellent candidates except for the fact that they don't appear to support FreeBSD and OpenLDAP. Webmin doesn't have an option to use SSHA password hashing when creating an account, and all of its supported hashing mechanisms don't equal the actual authentication process' hashing mechanism. Usermin (probably for the same reason) can allow a user to change a password but changes the password to something besides what the user wanted, effectively disabling his account. Usermin offers a huge advantage in that it also can change a Samba account password at the same time (though I don't know if it will change an LDAP password out of the box). Are there other options in the ports tree that actually work? Is there a simple way to get Webmin and Usermin to work? Cheers, Benjamin Doherty chicago --Apple-Mail-1-770426523--
