RE: OpenLDAP + User Authentication

Okay, I'll buy that.

If I import his ldap tree into mine, then this will have to be done on a
regular basis (nightly). Or, their dept will have to authenticate off
our ldap server, or our machines will authenticate off their ldap
server. Correct?

yes it possible buut not advisable.

why not just run one ldap server with two trees.

or even better yet, import his ldap tree into yours.

i would not know how to tell ssh try this and if not try that, this
wouuld cause a considerable delay in many services.

start the right way from the begining,

next thing you know each dept will have their own ldap server, and
then what.
