      In SuSE 9.0, you already have a way to setup users in an LDAP directory. It
    does however, require that you setup your slapd or have access to a remote
    ldap server. If you are planning on setting up your own LDAP server, a good
    starting point, would be the migration tools ... these provide a good read,
    and tools to migrate to ldap.

    http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/ldapmigrationtools.html

      Also, the LDAP howto, is a good read in general when starting.

      After your ldap server is setup or acquired, you can easily use Yast to
    edit, modify user base. It's a bit awkward though, and if you want a
    complete LDAP data explorer. I reccomend this browser:

    http://www.jxplorer.org/

    or

    http://jxplorer.sourceforge.net/
