Edubuntu LTSP with Netware Authentication

[Willis, Ben]

Gavin,

Im trying to understand the solution before I attempt it.

With the NSS switch will it be doing an LDAP lookup on the account? I don't understand the flow exactly.

I guess it just demonstrates the problem in that document with openssh is
what's stopping you getting in -- ie ssh checks and finds no account so it
skips authentication.

Getting the nsswitch.conf stuff to work against nds or ldap seems like your
solution.
