I am still making my way through all that. I found the Gentoo docs on that to be outdated and useless. If recruiters can ever process me, that's one doc I plan to update. Beyond that I have found the following useful, some post setup. http://ldots.org/ldap/ http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP-LDIF-example1.html http://techhelplist.com/index.php/tech-tutorials/34-openldap/48-user-management-in-openldap Some info here is correct http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ldap-howto.xml http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/OpenLDAP The order of includes in slapd.conf is important. This is the order that worked for me, I think mentioned in an above link, but the gentoo one was off. include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema I still have some issues in my setup but its mostly a result of having multiple base dc's. Some things are working and others not, but it's not fully functional. Like with ls I get user names but group numbers. With getent group the groups show up. I can't authenticate yet or do network log in which sucks. But again it's mostly due to the multiple base dc=somedomain,dc=com ;) Single one should be pretty straight forward per the above, hope that helps some. I am still on my way and have to switch to Firebird as the database, instead of Berkley db. -- William L.
