Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what we're trying to do,
disable rather than delete. The plan is to have some sort of check
for the number of days since last login and then send out an email to
our Operators when it's hit 60 and then 90 days without a login. At
that point it should either be disabled automatically, or an Operator
should do it manually. This is mainly due to security risks with
email accounts. Our email system is tied into the LDAP so I want to
check the last LDAP authentication. The part I'm getting stuck on is
exactly how to keep track of the last login for a user. Do you have
any tips about this?

Depending on the number of entries in question and the time to
live of
this objects you may want to have a look at slapo-dds(5).
You could probably create a dynamic object as soon as a user logs in,
and allow a given ttl or some similar strategy,
This would __delete__ the account; furthermore, you'd need to setup
something to "touch" the TTL any time the account is used. I think
something dedicated should rather been implemented, which logs the
time
of a login and, periodically, checks if any account needs to be
disabled
(e.g. inhibit logging, not remove the entry). It shouldn't be too
difficult.
