[TriLUG] LDAP Question

[Ben Simpson]

I have tried the following so far.

Ldap-Explorer      Web based ldap viewer.  You can add/delete ldap entries.
ldap browser            Java based ldap viewer. You can add/delete entries

neither of the above are easy to use to just add/delete users.
I have installed but can't get KDirAdmin to work.  supposed to be what I
need

various webmin modules        very BETA and some have not been developed for
a while

directory administrator for Gnome.   I am running KDE and not sure this one
will work or not.  But looks like it would work.  :)

What else have you successfully setup with LDAP?

I would like to get all my programs to work with ldap (mail, ftp, samba,
webserver, etc..)
