I wouldn't know how to begin: LDAP is an attitude of mind. LDAP is Pandora's magic box, it has no bottom, contains infinite possibilities and is the heart and soul of any installation that I make. If a service such as login, ssh, su, gdm/Gnome/KDE, my mail server, IMAP server, address book, Samba, Apache - anything apart from DNS (though that can as well) doesn't work with a single LDAP database, it's useless. Even Evo works with LDAP. Even OpenOffice.org works with LDAP. LDAP is a single, central database for a system, network or organization, into which you can stuff every thinkable detail. Learning how to cope with it is *not* easy, can cost you months. As I said, it's an attitude of mind - either you want it and are prepared to take the trouble to learn about it, or you don't. Microsoft has a variant called Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, Sun Sun One, IBM ... My chosen are Openldap and eDirectory - which goes further than Openldap, but isn't necessarily better. --Tonni -- mail: billy - at - billy.demon.nl http://billy.demon.nl _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
