It's not so much that you need to shut down slapd, as that you want to make sure that slapd is not doing _write_ operations, or you'll get inconsistent data. Since the vast majority of LDAP operations are read only, slapcat is generally fine. -- - | ,''`.Stephen Gran | | : :' :[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `. `'Debian user, admin, and developer | |`- http://www.debian.org | - pgpR2bKL24dzw.pgp Description: PGP signature

Calling "getent passwd" gives you a list of system users. For lowlevel access to the ldap slapcat is probably the easiest.

I believe there's a webmin module for djbdns somewhere. A google search should be able to find it. HTH, Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Not sure about the other questions, but Webmin will recognise your current configurations. Be sure to install it the Debian way: apt-get install webmin (and the same for the modules you intend to use) Gerhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
