It seems like the only sane way to approach that (with 22 > servers, scattered across 20 locations) is with nss_ldap. I'll check out > pam_ldap as well - thanks for the pointer. nss_ldap does just the uid/name lookup, pam_ldap does the authentication/authorization thing. If you only need user/group stuff, Bind does not need to be recompiled. I remember having installed the nss_ldap port, changed settings in /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf (or whatever nss_ldap installs), changed /etc/nsswitch.conf to use nss_ldap and that was about all. The documentation for nss_ldap is not always clear, but if you know your LDAP installation well, it is ok. -- olive
