Answer-- RE: OpenLDAP references

[Robert F. Stockdale IV]

I checked out the web pages you provided. They are educational, actually 
I thought I knew more that I do about LDAP. I think I'll get the book 
you mentioned as well. My 800+ page book gives more of an understanding 
and not so much hands on stuff/ HOWTO's. Did you get everything working 
the way you expected?

>Here's my situation. We've gotten to the point here where there's a need for central authentication for our developers. Rather than set up NIS+ or try to use our M$ Active Directory, we're setting up an LDAP server.  
>No problem. The server and database is set up properly and I can use authconfig to make the linux systems point to it. The problem is in the details- User home directories, for example. I know I don't need a copy on every box- How do I get it to be available on the logged-in system?    What I'm looking for is a decent reference on how to set up the stuff that authconfig doesn't (pam, home directories, email, etc....)
