Am grateful Chris,
am going to give it a go with centos. Maybe just a few more inquiries.
Scenario:
I have a cluster of servers running Ubuntu supporting thin clients. I
need to have users on the thinClients centrally authenticated.
this is the reason for LDAP. Is there a better a approach to this scenario?
other wise thanks,
