Re: eudora + login
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/ldap45.htm
In your "prefs" file you can add the line
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.<server name>.auth.dn", "<dn>");
Granted, there's no GUI for this, but you only have to do it once per
client. (Or are these shared clients?) I haven't tried it with "@"
characters, so I don't know what will happen in that case.
