openLDAP question

[Adriano Holanda]

The LDAP server configuration file is:

/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.

There is a good tutorial in linuxjournal:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6266

To configure the client use:

# authconfig

To put ldap in run levels 3,4,5

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 ldap on
