[Fedora-directory-users] Focus of this mailinglist?

[Christopher Blizzard]

I don't have any quick answers to your questions.  There's some support 
in the nss_ldap module for some of the things that you need, but I'm not 
an expert in this area.  On the server side I don't know what we have in 
place.

OK, maybe this post is actually devoid of any information making it 
completely worthless.  But!  Our long term goals include making it very 
easy to do what you're suggesting.
