Hi list,
I have been manually adding users to LDAP by adding the --service ldap
and -D options, works fine.
SAP (via sapinst) tries to add userids dynamically by calling
/usr/sbin/useradd directly, which fails.
Can SLES 10 with OpenLDAP be configured so that useradd/usermod
commands work directly on LDAP entries without specifying --service or
-D ?
If so, does this allow for the root user to still be in /etc/passwd
for security/reliability? Or is it an ALL-LDAP solution?
I am not looking for workarounds, such as bash alias's or shell
scripts - I already use these ;-)

After posting I did some more testing.....
By adding a rootbinddn statement to /etc/ldap.conf and creating
/etc/ldap.secret the usermod command now works on existing LDAP entries
(without --service ldap or -D),
but useradd still puts new users into /etc/passwd :-(
