Re: Passwd Backend Syntax?

I assume you mean how do you use LDAP as your authentication database?

If so see my article at:
http://developer.netscape.com/viewsource/index_frame.html?content=wilcox_lda
p2.html

It talks about Netscape DS, but will work with any LDAP compliant server
(the only change you have to make is if you use the original LDAP plugin for
Novell NDS because they decided to store the uid attribute in the cn
attribute).
