hey, it's clear you're not stupid!

as i recall, i had been tasked to set up a server to be an email server (using postfix and smtpd and cyrus-imapd with auth via LDAP and intefaced with SquirrelMail) and be a chat server (auth with LDAP servied via jabberd). it was fun, but getting LDAP to work w/all that was a bee-yotch. and I never got it to do anything more robust, like allowing remote users to log in and get a shell, etc.

Hehehe, that was precisely one of my deployment requirements... ;)

RedHat clones have an own directory server, dunno if it has been ported to Ubuntu...

You've got either CentOS or Scientific Linux (there might be others as well).

You can check at RedHat's documentation in
