I've done it before. It's been ages though. The MTA is important. There are different AttributeTypes you set depending on which MTA you choose. We originally set this up on sendmail but it was just way too much work. I think eventually we ended up doing it on postfix, and you just enable the appropriate option/patch/whatever in postfix and set the appropriate AT on the person's entry in the database. Samba Auth can be a bit fiddly (though maybe it's better now, I recall that the samba people were planning native ldap support when I was playing with this stuff). I suggest you take a look at my (kinda ancient) howto: http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~jgre4014/pam_ldap.html for various other stuff on your todo list. Use GQ (or look in the files), and look around your schema, you'll find attribute types for aliasing, search google for that attributetype and your preferred MTA is probably the easiest way to get it all working. > > Has anyone done this (I do it with Netscape at the moment) with any > standard linux software? as in the netscape ldap server? openldap kicks ass.
