Re: Anyone using OpenDirectory?

It's pretty straightforward.  You set up the linux box like it would  
look at any RFC 2307 LDAP server, except you also edit (starting at  
line 143)  /etc/ldap.conf.  This is where you can map schema to look  
elsewhere.  I edited nss_base_passwd to match the ou that Apple uses  
for its password files.  I also edited nss_base_group, and  
nss_base_hosts.
