This page was mentioned on the list before, but check out http://homex.subnet.at/~max/ldap/, Using OpenLDAP on Debian Woody to server Linux and Samba users. I don't know if it will help you with your specific problems with the standard Unix utilities, but it is certainly a great place for more Debian-centric LDAP information. -Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
