Hi

But tell me, is this a PAM issue or a NSS issue ? AFAIK you only need a 
LDAP-aware NSS library for reading authentication stuff, althrough you 
need PAM if you want your users to change anything stored on the LDAP 
server (eg, password).

I am currently testing both W2K Active Directory and OpenLDAP, with 
several clients (windowzs, linuxes, etc..). As I heard (and not yet 
tested), UNIX clients work well with W2K A.D., but Windows clients seem 
to fail a bit with Linux OpenLDAP servers. Do you have any info on this ?

Thanks
