The Linux Directory Services project (LDS) is proud to announce newly
available packages and source code. The LDS seeks to create LDAP based
nameservice software similar in operation to NIS, but with the advanced
features of modern directories. RPM packages for openldap (LDAP libraries,
servers, and clients), LDAPNS (LDAP Nameservice libraries and
configuration scripts), and the Ldap Nameservice HOWTO are now available
for download. The LDS website is at http://www.rage.net/ldap/, and all
files are available at ftp://ftp.rage.net/pub/LDAP/. See
http://www.rage.net/ldap/announce.txt for the full announcement.

Installation Instructions:
Download and install the following RPMS (in order)
openldap-1.1-0.i386.rpm: LDAP Libraries and basic clients
openldap-devel-1.1-0.i386.rpm: LDAP Development libraries (optional)
openldap-servers-1.1-0.i386.rpm: LDAP Servers
passwd-0.50-12.i386.rpm: Fixes a bug with pam interaction
ldapns-0.1-1.i386.rpm: LDAP nss/pam libraries and scripts

On your master LDAP server, run 'ldapinit -m' to initialize the LDAP server,
then 'ldapmigrate' to populate your database with nameservice information.
On each client node run 'ldapinit -c ldaphost' on each client (substituting
'ldaphost' with your LDAP server hostname).

To configure replicas, run 'ldaphost -s' on the slave server, and
'ldaphost -r' on the master.

BUGS
Currently pam_ldap does not authenticate when chasing refferals (neither do
any of the ldap* command line tools). This is being worked on and will be fixed
by the next release.
