Hello list,

I have successfully migrated our office's PCs over to Red Hat Linux 9. 
The system has centralized home directories via NFS, single sign-on is
achieved thru LDAP and auto-update via current+up2date.  The only
remaining problems have to do with LDAP replication and directory
design.

I configured replication by following the docs at openldap.org but my
boxes still can't authenticate off of the slave ldap because no data is
replicated from the master to the slave (slurpd -d 65535 prints messages
about one ldap user entry as "not mine..skipping" but nothing critical, 
at least to me).  If I authenticate via the master ldap, I can log in
but can't change the password via passwd (yes I'm using pam ldap plugins
that came with RH9).  PAM keeps exiting with an access denied error. 
The only way to change password is via ldapmodify.  Any ideas?  I'd
appreciate it if someone (paging Jijo?) can send a copy of a working
config.  

My second problem is how to design a directory that fits our
organization.  I get hopelessly lost with the openldap.org docs when it
comes to directory (schema?) design.  If anyone has a doc/url explaining
the process in layman's terms, please share.  I'm up to the point where
I need to get an OID from IANA.  Things start to get fuzzy at
objectclasses  :D

If anyone is interested I'll be putting up a "walkthrough" webpage where
they can read about our whole migration process including the
configuration guides for each installation.  I'll put it up after
everything's done.

Thanks in advance!
