Hi,
can anyone tell me how I can use LDAP to share passwords to both Linux and NT4.0 accounts? ie I have a load of different users that I would like to share out passwords to, via LDAP, but I'm not too sure how to do it.
At the moment I am using YP with Solaris, can LDAP replace this??

thanks all,
Chris
 
The biggest problem with any LDAP/Meta directory implementation is that each NOS/App uses its own hash for the password field... there is a product called PSynch from MTech that will allow you to do what you are attempting tho...

You could roll your own, but the effort outweighs the cost of PSynch :(
