If you could let me have the relevant files that would be brilliant.
We've got a load of other Fedora / CentOS box's running authenticating against our OpenLDAP server
but not Ubuntu, it's a shame it doesn't have a port of the authconfig tool like RH Clones & Suse
have as this makes it so easy :-)
I've got the NFS mount working OK so I know that bit's good
Thanks again
