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

[Tyler Haske]

ldap works. it was less in the config file than I thought,
after getting ethreal up and running, I just watched what the 
pam_ldap.so was sending over the network, and made it match what I got 
working with ldapsearch.

Doesn't log in though, had to add myself to the /etc/passwd so I got a 
shell. then it loged in. thats next with /etc/nsswitch.conf.
