[KLUG Members] user sign on to authenticate against LDAP?

I didn't share the full story... sorry.

The LDAP server is running on Novell NDS.  I guess my question should have
been - How do I tell my linux box to authenticate against a remote LDAP
server?  Is the answer still the same?

/etc/pam.d/system-auth:
-----------------------
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so

account     sufficient     /lib/security/pam_unix.so
account     sufficient    /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
account     required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so

password    sufficient    /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
password    sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5
password    required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so

session     required      /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session     required      /lib/security/pam_unix.so
session     optional      /lib/security/pam_ldap.so

On RH7.x this will make LDAP a default auth methind.  You may not want
this,  you should be able to do the same thing to indivual services.
