Yet Another Beginner Question

[Mark Lehrer <mark@knm.org>]

I have gone through the wonderful Quick Start guide and it appears
that my server is running nicely.

However, I'm having some difficulty figuring out what to do next.  I
installed a new mail server to replace our legacy Exchange mail
server.  However, I am keeping Exchange around just for the directory.
My goal is relatively simple at this point; I just want to be able to
have everyone use the OpenLDAP server instead of Exchange as an
address book so they can click on the "to" button in either Evolution
or the MS products, and get a list of the local recipients & lists as
specified in /etc/aliases.

Is there a document that explains the procedure for making this work?
it seems like there is a ton of flexibility in the names of all the
fields, and it's been tough to find the correct fields to use.  I've
spent the last couple of days looking through openldap.org and the
mailing lists.

If someone can give me a few hints (please, if you tell me to RTFM,
tell me the URL where TFM you're referring to is located), I'll be
happy to add another quick start guide for this topic.

Also, what is the best way to deal with keeping both the ldap database
and /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group, /etc/aliases in sync?  I
would prefer to keep using the standard adduser tools, and vi to
handle the aliases; would it make sense to have an periodic cron job
blow away the LDAP info and re-load it, or is it better to re-generate
these files from the LDAP database?

Thanks,
Mark
