Yes. The trouble is, has anyone gotten pam_ldap and nss_ldap working
properly on SOLARIS? I haven't even gotten it working *properly* on
Linux. Of course if you're using Cyrus there need not be local UNIX
accounts for every user. But Mozcom's user model requires that local
accounts be available for shell access.. hence the complicated
contortions.
