  None of the stuff on netsys is searchable (well, it is, but not from 
the netsys site, I've been using google to do it).  I've sent mail to 
pamldap, but it's like shouting into a black hole, since I can't seem to 
actually subscribe to that list.

   Thanks.  A preliminary skim of this gives me good info.  For 
example, I had no idea that there's a THIRD configuration file that has 
to be tweaked.  I've been looking at ldap.conf and pam.conf (neither of 
which is particularly well documented, IMO).

  I'd think I'd rather chew my own leg off than try to get a PO!
