Hi

I have sent this before but was not sure if it got through, so I am sending
it again. This will be the last send! :-)


Hi

I am looking to set up an X-server login to use an LDAP user database
instead of the "/etc/master.password" system. One option I see for this is
to replace the xdm login prompt with a login prompt (program) that uses the
the LDAP server. I am looking for some hints or references on how to do
this, or an alternative method to implement this.

Many thanks
Matthew Fincham
