Matte, Thanks!  That was the info I needed.  I have one client now authenticating on the LDAP server and mounting the user's home directory via NFS.  I now understand how to get the rest of them going. Now for the task of migrating the groups, and setting up the LDAP accounts.  Webmin looks good. I will document my set up on the school website, and the steps to get it working in the next couple of weeks.  Thanks again!
