Authenitcation via LDAP is always done by external modules >(e.g sasl, authprop, or pam) I guess.
I have written a custom pwcheck daemon that checks /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow first then LDAP, so I can migrate my customers to LDAP one by one. It works only with Cyrus 1.x, since I don't believe Cyrus 2.x uses pwcheck, and you must compile OpenLDAP without SASL support or you will end up running into what I assume are either reentrancy or thread-safety problems (haven't done extensive debugging) with the SASL library. Within those limitations, it seems to work well. If you need it, I'll send it along to you. -- JustThe.net LLC - Steve "Web Dude" Sobol, CTO ICQ: 56972932/WebDude216 website: http://JustThe.net email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 216.619.2NET postal: 5686 Davis Drive, Mentor On The Lake, OH 44060-2752 DalNet: ZX-2
