I probably need to add one other item, I would like to integrate this into
my existing distributed environment where I could also authenticate
Solaris systems to the LDAP as well. I would also like to maintain a
level of portability, pick it up and go. You never know, zLinux is very
new and still very costly, it may be a fad. For production work loads and
future workloads where availability over the long term is critical I would
prefer a portable deployment where if I ever had to I could pick up the
LDAP and put it on Solaris or IA64 Linux.
I do thank you for the link, it is what I was looking for and failed to
find. There may be something within this redbook that addresses my
concerns above.
Thank you!

-----Original Message-----
Has anyone come across a good document or HOWTO for LDAP and zLinux?
I would like to create an authentication scheme for my Linux guests where
they would authenticate to an LDAP. While I have experience doing this, I
would like to see something like a best practices or suggestions for
implementation in a Z/VM environment.
