Thread: Creating network user accounts and enforcing their use
Started 1 month, 4 weeks ago by greg.harvey
Hi all, I have a small office network here which consists of three machines running Fedora 10 and a dev server running CentOS 5.2. I have no Windows machines, and have no intention of having any.

The article is aimed to do its best to simplify a complex subject. If you find things you don't understand, or that you feel, as someone new to LDAP, aren't clear, please let me know. (Though if it's not something covered in the article, I might not be able to help.) (It would probably be better to start a new thread for things like that, with LDAP, or OpenLDAP in the subject line.)...
