Hi all,

I have been working on centralizing user management in a company network this week.
My requirements where described in the above mentioned community document:

	https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication/

Unfortunately the document was "somewhat" outdated and when I finally had a working

	- client authentication and
	- client host authorization

the whole setup on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was somewhat different than described in the document.
Actually it was simpler, but with some common pitfalls.

I took the liberty to update the document and shift the pre-7.10 part to the bottom as "legacy" documentation, but am now unsure if it wouldn't even be better to remove that part (who would ever want to set such a thing up on Ubuntu < 7.10?)

Could anyone comment on how I should behave and on whether the document is acceptable?

Kind regards

Günther Mair
