<header>Services Using LDAP</header>
|
|
|
|
On a Unix system, various types of system information (such as users, groups
|
|
and hostnames) can be looked up from different sources. In the simplest
|
|
case these are all taken from local files in the <tt>/etc</tt> directory, such
|
|
as <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> for users, <tt>/etc/group</tt> for groups and
|
|
<tt>/etc/hosts</tt> for hostnames. <p>
|
|
|
|
However, it is possible to select additional sources for this data. If your
|
|
system is an LDAP client, you will need to use this page to enable the querying
|
|
of the configured LDAP server for user and group information. You should be
|
|
careful to not turn off the <b>Files</b> data source for users or groups,
|
|
as this would hide important system users such as <tt>root</tt>. Instead, all
|
|
you should need to do is select <b>LDAP</b> as the second source. <p>
