RE: linux-authentication via openldap

["Brian Johnson" <bjohnson@jecinc.on.ca>]

I am trying to use openldap with Red Hat 7.2 as well but am having trouble
getting things configured properly

Could you tell me the process you followed to get it to work?

I wonder if I am having trouble with the user permissions on the default
/var/lib/ldap directory (set to user ldap group ldap by default) but the
manager in the default slapd.conf is not ldap - it's Manager

Looks like logging is enabled on the openldap server, turn it off in
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf should help the speed.

Cheers,

David.
