hi all when using userdrake to manage users in a ldap directory, you first have to specify the ldap server, it's base dn and so on. then, you would enable the checkbox "edit accounts on a ldap directory" in menu settings - preferences.
with this checkbox enabled and quitting userdrake it does not save all of the settings made. starting from a console i could see the following message: ** Error **: cannot unlock the user lib?????? aborting... when leaving the checkbox disabled and quitting, everything goes fine and the settings are saved (except that on the next userdrake session, you have to remember to enable the "edit accounts on a ldap directory" so that you can manage your ldap dir.) spiderboy
