LDAP on Solaris

One of the things I've been working on for the past few years, off and on, is getting LDAP working on Solaris.  Now, I can get an LDAP server to run, and I can get an LDAP client to run on Solaris, but when it comes to PAM authentication, it's like it just doesn't seem to want to do it.

So here's my suggestion if you're working on this: don't.  It's a bit of a pain and a huge learning curve.  If your company doesn't have a need for the LDAP, then I would recommend keeping whatever system you have in place (NIS), or if you want something more secure, use NIS+.

If you're Linux only, you may be well ahead of the curve.
