Documentation? We don't have none of that there
'ere.

I can let you have the relevant config, it that's
any help. There's not that much to set up on the
client side, and I seem to remember that you
already have an LDAP server.

I think the nfs-common package was installed by
default. libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap are in
universe. I also install ldap-utils for fault-
finding.

Then it's a matter of modifying ldap.conf, libnss-
ldap.conf, pam_ldap.conf, nsswitch.conf, and the
pam.d/common-* files to get name service and
authentication working. Add an NFS mount in fstab,
and you're there.
