newbie Question
Dear List
I am new to LDAP and for the past few day I have been looking around on the
web for information about LDAP as it was recommended as a replacement for
NIS. The reason why I would like to use this is that I have a database of
1500 users and I would like to give them each an email account. My
intention is to create a perl scripts to create the LDIF file. I would like
to keep my /etc/passwd file that has 5 users separate from the LDIF file.
My question is can I use LDAP method and the /etc/passwd file separate from
each other and authenticate from both at the same time. Can anyone
recommend websites that would explain this type of configuation?
Thanks
Gordon Stewart
