Thoughts on LDAP Anyone ?

[Aly Dharshi <aly dharshi uleth ca>]

Hi All,

	Were are building a server running RedHat 7.3 which among other things will 
provide ldap services for authentication and information for a variety of other 
applications.

	I know that upon installing there is a point whereby the installer asks what mode 
for authentication one would prefer. I was wondering whether the ldap option 
there applies to an existing ldap server ? Or does it mean that include ldap in 
the authentication list (nsswitch.conf) and then configure it later. Or does it 
configure the /etc/ldap.conf for you, or do we need to do this by hand.

	There is an authentication converting program in 7.3, has anyone used this ? 
Anbody using ldap in a such a fashion or along similar lines care to share their 
thoughts please. Thanks in advance.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
