Hi, I think you should take a look at the Name Service Switch. + PAM.. It just seems that when LDAP is enabled, the system screws up while shuting down/rebooting... :-( it seems the authentication system refuses to allow the umount -a while shutting down As a result, my /usr is always badly umounted..
but the LDAP authentication works beautifully behind that ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show libnss-ldap Package: libnss-ldap Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 143 Maintainer: Sami Haahtinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 184-2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libldap2 (>= 2.0.23-1), debconf Recommends: nscd, libpam-ldap Filename: pool/main/libn/libnss-ldap/libnss-ldap_184-2_i386.deb Size: 64100 MD5sum: e50c9750c50dd0cb6d03de729885fb7b Description: NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service This package provides a Name Service Switch that allows your LDAP server act as a name service. This means providing user account information, group id's, host information, aliases, netgroups, and basically anything else that you would normally get from /etc flat files or NIS. . If used with glibc 2.1's nscd (Name Service Cache Daemon) it will help reduce your network traffic and speed up lookups for entries.

If used along with libnss-ldap, you can replace your entire flat file (/etc/*) structure or NIS with LDAP.
