[colug-432] PAM and LDAP

[William Yang]

I just did a Google of 'ubuntu ldap howto' and found a dozen how to's; 
first page includes specific howto's on ldap server setup and ldap client 
setup.  I did this a while back at home using a vm ldap server, to get 
integrated user spaces for windows, linux, and Mac clients.  Worked out 
okay; not much magic to it.  The only hard part was making sure the 
password files were in sync, first, because low gid/uid entries were 
mismatched across multiple system types.
