I have openldap authenticating users and publishing other directories such as personal and shared address books. I think I understand what cyrus-sasl does but haven't worked that much with it. I have started playing with heimdal kerberos but have made no efforts to try to integrate it into openldap yet - that is not a priority item but something I definitely want to learn when time permits. This setup though, I should point out, I am doing with RHEL rather than Fedora because this is server based and I see little reason to put Fedora on servers running openldap and all. I think if you look through the archives in December 2004 at openldap- software list, you will see my fairly complete notes of how I installed everything without destroying/removing anything from RHEL 3 HTH Craig
