Steve,

Just a guess, but have you ran authconfig on your systemms to select/enable ldap authentication?  Be careful, when this was initially enabled on my test system, I ended up locked out of root. Others have noted this as well (see the archves).  Also, on my Windows TS, I setup the LDAP server to also be a Samba PDC with the ldap-enabled version of Samba (not running 3.0 yet though).

I am not by any means an expert at the ldap stuff.  I have a friend who was able to get the local LUG to help me with the LDAP setup.  A couple of very nice guys came over, ran the scripts that Eric provides in the ISO's (I think on the extras image) to get the initial LDAP setup, then 'hacked' that for a couple of hours before it was all working.  I have been working on the test server to re-implement this so I also know what was done. (My biggest fear is this breaks, and I am way up the creek.)  I am not sure what all they did, they typed way to fast, plus worked in unison with new shells popping up, beeping, etc.

If I can reproduce the install/initialization process, it will be documented so that it is cookbook with every step outlined.  That much I can promise since I don't have the brain cells left to just remember this a week later.

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
