So, you're suggesting that I set everyone's shell to /bin/sh and use their .profile to locate and execute their real preferred shell?

I take exception to that. OpenLDAP is the application that serves this information to client machines. Althought my knowledge of LDAP is far from encyclopedic, I'm unaware of any standardized, portable mechanism for doing this sort of thing. Therefore, I was asking if the OpenLDAP server on my system was had this functionality, and if so, what is was called so that I could do further research on my own. This seemed to fit the charter of this mailing list exactly, so I posted it here. If I was wrong, I apologize, but I don't see how asking an OpenLDAP-specific question on the mailing list meant for OpenLDAP-specific questions was incorrect. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
