I also think that ldap (user management at least) should become
standard in RHL. It is possible to run all under ldap, but the ldap
management tools are missing (that's easy to fix) and the standard
RH user management tool should support ldap, too.
What is the status of RH tools with respect to that
(redhat-config-users, useradd)? libuser was already build against ldap
in RH9. Is there a chance to have more LDAP support in Cambridge?
I'm currently patching/modifying "libuser" to make it fully support
LDAP. The latest version from RawHide works awfully: it tries to invoke
ldap_modify_s to perform operations like adding a user or a group
account, when in fact, it should use ldap_add_s.
Right now, "luseradd" and "lgroupadd" are working perfectly for me.
There are still some rough edges I need to fix. They need some testing
also, I plan to release them for testing into rhl-beta-devel mailing
list for approval.
