Re: LDAP configuration

I've played with LDAP in the past. I was able to get an OS X workstation
to authenticate to a Linux LDAP server. Don't ask me how I did it. It
was a few years back and I didn't keep any notes.

I would like to setup an LDAP server for the following:

    * Authentication
          o Linux
          o Windows
          o OS X ( if I can get access to OS X )
    * Address book

If I have time I might put a box together for Friday.
