Dudes! Both of you!
You're in possession of something that's very important to the Linux
movement, and you might not even realize it yet: Sendmail/LDAP
integration.
Please, PLEASE write up a HOWTO on this, willya? A lot of us have
been struggling to work this LDAP authentication going for a long time.
And your writing styles are lucid, easy going, and wonderful.
Right now this 'active directory' crap is keeping a lot of Linux
from being installed on thousands of company's servers because while
there IS a Linux alternative, so very few people understand all of the
component parts. Your writing the HOWTO would give people a reason to
start experimenting and we'd all be up to speed on it...me, included!
I've messed with LDAP-for-authentication task a good 8-10 times now
and I've gotten a server that has the data, but can't authenticate.
Adding the the sendmail part would shine a lotta light on the entire
'one password' concept that's so beneficial to so many people.
There's little I can do, but I've plenty of time to do it in; I'm
stuck in a 'gravity well' of unemployment in a small town. Let me do
some of it: want me to maintain it, and you guys add to it? I'll answer
the mail.
Just let me know: this is very important to all of us. I'll do
whatever I'm able to see this through. (And won't even mention the OT
nature of the topic- it's important to Fedora!)
