# There is a simple solution, by using PAM you can have authentication
# through both LDAP and the local system. There is a pam_ldap module at
# www.padl.com (along with the nss_ldap module that can be used for
# lookups).
# 
# I have this setup on my system, and login/passwd/su/exim work
# seamlessly and transparently for local (root et al) as well as LDAP
# users.
# 
# NOTE: some application require some code to get them to work with PAM,
# but that is as trivial as getting them to work with LDAP.
