 Hi all,
 
 I'd like to set up LDAP to:
  - replace NIS/AutoFS;

http://www.padl.com/OSS/pam_ldap.html (great stuff) and 
http://www.terminator.net/ldapconf/nss_ldap.html should help

  - provide addressbook storage for evolution.

Find a decent LDAP management UI and go for it...bear in mind that the DC's of 
any entries from external entities will need to be the same as the DC that you 
select for your own directory, which is unpleasant.

(I know of someone who tried to set their bind point to dc=com once, then had 
to add a .co.uk...)

 Does anyone have any experience with doing the above, know of good
 resources to look at etc? LDAP seems to be a real pain to make work in
 any useful sense.

LDAP is Just-A-Directory...if you want to know more about LDAP, there's a great 
IBM Redbook on LDAP, google for RedBook and LDAP should find it...

Oh...and don't attempt anything while ssh'ed into the box :-)

 People,
 
 (And not Rob in particular).
 
 Could we not discuss stuff like this on the mailing list. It makes us 
 look bad to be seen to be helping each other do legally dubious[1] 
 things. Talk to each other directly or something. There are plenty of 
 internet resources, mailing lists and IRC chatrooms which deal with this 
 topic.
 
 Like I said, not getting at anyone in particular.
 
I have to agree with Allan here...the mailing list is not for the discussion of 
copying software...I assumed it was Bootable Business Cards at first, 'til I googled 
for phil's original mail.

It's not even software that runs on Linux we're discussing, so, it's _definitely_ Off 
Topic!
