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.

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
