FW: ppolicy in openldap

[Aaron Bliss]

Running authconfig should take care of most, if not all of the necessary
config files...You may also find this wiki page on fds helpful:

Right. *sigh* Wish I'd sent a copy of my instructions that I documented to
myself before I left my last contract.

<Digs into memory>
First, you need to edit nsswitch for passwd and shadow, at least, to point
to ldap then files.

Then you need to edit (or create) an /etc/pam_ldap.conf
There also needs to be an ldap.conf, to point to the openldap server. This
may, or may not, be in /etc/openldap.

Finally, you need to edit /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and insert 
for auth, and account (I think, and password, and *maybe* session, before
the line for pam_unix.so, one for pam_ldap.so

I think that's what you need. I don't guarantee I haven't missed
something....
