Thanks to both of you for the help. We're running all unstable here
so getting the ldap packages isn't a problem, but I wasn't completely
sure what the tradeoffs are. I'll go look at the web sites Ben
mentioned.
Actually I had already seen the ldap pacakges, but I wasn't quite sure
where to start. I was hoping for a HOWTO or something, but I can
always just jump in and figure it out as I poke around.
