No, I've gone numb. The bit about adding users "could" be shortened if you could just use the existing passwd file, but I realize that not everyone in my "users" need have access to ldap. So, that doesn't happen by design. I grok that. <sigh> I'd rather have a nice big fat GUI with a vertical list of users, and a column of check-boxes titled LDAP and just by ticking off the boxes with the mouse, users would be added. <cackles> Yeah, too much like Windows. I do enjoy the interchanges between Les and Craig as it proves Karl Marx right. "Thesis versus Antithesis equals Synthesis". Somewhere between the two, something useful may emerge. "The truth is out there" and so is the ultimate "Right Thing(tm)". Now, I'll nip off and start with step 8 and see how it goes. Thanks to everyone, this is a lively thought-provoking thread.
