Thanks Aly, that's good advice, but I would prefer to keep the authentication funnel running through LDAP to Kerberos, mainly as the LDAP directory will eventually also be responsible for authentication for other daemons (Samba, etc). I'm trying to keep it simple (by making it more complicated?). But that is a good last resort or temporary fix till I can figure out a way. I have a sales dept who really wants shared calendaring NOW. Ouch.
