I am trying to migrate all my pop users to ldap, well... that's easy, and provide virtual pop3 - editing account becomes easier and more secure I think. only problem is that I don't want to migrate completely - like I would using nss_ldap, but carefully select services I want authenticated via ldap etc... As for now the only way to do that is to use nss in conjuction with pam - although it seemed like pam would be sufficient solution - it isn't.
And to list members I've got a little question about performance - I am getting this strange feeling that sql server can authenticate my users faster, and it's more straight-forward ( without using caching - nscd ). So why use ldap when sql is more powerfull? except for the fact that there are lot of ldap-enabled tools, and my clients would be quite happy to be able to include our users-base in their outlook or netscape or whatever addressbooks? regards, Eyck
