Greets all,

I'm hoping to set up primary and backup LDAP servers on Red Hat Linux,
with the following goals:

- single sign-on for Solaris and Linux (Red Hat) clients
- support for netgroup-like functionality (such as NIS would have)
- identify a Web-based (Apache) solution for:
  - administration by myself and other sysadmins
  - self-administration by users
    - change password
    - add personal info
    - optionally add image file
    - optionally add free-form text

I've glanced at LDAP several times and have a background in administering
NIS.
The last time I gave this a go, I attempted to pull the server pieces
together on Solaris.  I eventually realized I had run aground.

So, suggestions, pointers to quick-start docs, recommendations for the
Apache piece, all welcome.
