We have used LDAP on Solaris for years, and have mixed environments of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD. We use /usr/local/bin/bash in LDAP for shells, then either link that to the system /bin/bash or install more up-to-date bash in /usr/local/bin. This way you can always install a more up-to-date shell in /usr/local/bin without changing the base OS - you don't want base OS shell scripts to break by updating to a newer shell. -- DE
