I don't think this has anything to do with openldap itself, so please 
consider another list. You don't say what your clients are running or 
how they are authenticating, so it's almost impossible to point you at a 
 mailing list that covers this (but this one does not).

If I were to guess you are using pam_ldap on linux, I would suggest you 
search on freshmeat for pam modules, I believe there is one called 
pam_script. Then again, some tasks may be accomplished by other means, 
ie abusing your shell, your display manager etc etc. or other pam 
modules such as pam_mount.

But, please do not continue this thread here.

Buchan
