But as Stuart suggested - I would rather use a db backend for that. I plan myself to finally use ldapd for that. Most applications allow e.g. password changes against ldap. In my setup I complicated things more than making it easier. For example I separated my system user from my "virtual" user for mail etc. That could have been done in the end simpler with ldap. -- wq: ~uw
