Are you sure grml is the right distribution? It is not meant to be used as a normal desktop system. If you want to run normal Linux Desktops just use a normal Distribution like Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL or Opensuse. > This seems a strange omission from grml.

I think libnet-ldap-perl is a dependency. Postfix ldap i dont know but we should probably remove it, yes. > I could install libnss-ldap on each client machine.

You can remaster the cd yourselv via grml-live, use the netscript bootoption to download a script from some server and execute it or scripts to run a script from the cd. > I tried "apt-get install libnss-ldap" on a test machine.
