Ric ---- I hope you don't think that you were the only one who found it difficult...I get your frustrations and Tim's. First of all, you can't use competing walk-throughs because EVERYONE does things differently and it's certain that you can't mix theories and expect it to work. Personally, I never found any LDAP walk-through that was capable of providing an understanding of basic LDAP or I would hae suggested it to you guys...I promise. What I told you was that Gerald Carter's LDAP System Administration would make it all so clear (at least enough to be functional) in 3 hours or so. If you want to keep spinning your wheels and playing Alexander Portnoy, be my guest.
