Hahaha. > what do you mean that non-system mail accounts? are these the ones with only email and no system user? if that is the case, this is how my setup is running. because only my mail servers (SMTP-postfix and POP/IMAP-cyrus/courier) are authenticating via LDAP. my systems users are still in the crummy /etc/passwd. hehehe. > > as for me, i am happiliy maintaining a student directory (LDAP of > > course). however, i will wait a while until openldap kinda stabilizes. i > > got burnt when they released 3.x and made an uber lot of changes. > > arghhhh! > > Life, oh life.

when i migrated to the newer version of LDAP i had to rewrite the scripts for the new version (grumble grumble). however, the new rewrite uses a perl module already (Net-LDAP i think). i also use Cyrus-Admin perl module to maintain cyrus mailboxes. for courier mailboxes, these are in the filesystem thus there is no need for a perl module. -------------------------------------- William Emmanuel S.
