Yes, that is my understanding. I have also found another problem with using "files ldap" - both sudo and su don't work. They both appear to fail to find that I am in wheel and hence won't let me do anything :( If I have "ldap files" then they work OK. "ldap files" should work for bootup too except that nss_ldap seems to sleep trying to reconnect to the ldap server instead of giving up quickly. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
