[KLUG Members] making a linux machine auth against an ldap server.

[Tyler Haske]

I knew ldap would be forced on me eventually.

I am trying to set up linux PAM so folks can log on with linux, and
authenticate against   LDAP.

I'm told an easy way to go about doing this is connect with a 'big'
account, find the userid, then reconnect with the found userid.

if you can bind to the LDAP with your ldap userid and password, you
should be able to login to a linux machine with the campus wide
username and password.

I'm having trouble using the correct syntax in the /etc/ldap.conf file.

basically I can't specify a wmuuid, I have to look it up, according to
the uid, which the user types in..

get it!?
