Please be more specific. LDAP infrastructure information is amazingly hard to come by. I wrote all the software for our Institute Department myself, referring to the good Perl Net::LDAP documentation. The LDAP bible is out of print, according to my bookshop. Aelieen Frish's new book promised much, but offered little with LDAP. I hope O'Reilly pay someone competent to write one. I will give my (rather localised) program to anyone who does not CC to this list (otherwise procmail will hide it from my normal inbox) -- Nick Urbanik RHCE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Information & Communications Technology Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) Tel: (852) 2436 8576, (852) 2436 8713 Fax: (852) 2436 8526 PGP: 53 B6 6D 73 52 EE 1F EE EC F8 21 98 45 1C 23 7B ID: 7529555D GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
