Solaris 8 working with posixAccount on LDAP

1. Create /var/ldap/ldap_client_file:
   #
   # Do not edit this file manually; your changes will be lost.Please use
   # ldapclient (1M) instead.
   #
   NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 1.0
   NS_LDAP_SERVERS= ldap.stanford.edu:389
   NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=stanford,dc=edu
   NS_LDAP_AUTH= NS_LDAP_AUTH_NONE
   NS_LDAP_TRANSPORT_SEC= NS_LDAP_SEC_NONE
   NS_LDAP_SEARCH_REF= NS_LDAP_NOREF
   NS_LDAP_DOMAIN= stanford.edu
   NS_LDAP_EXP= 1045640377
   NS_LDAP_SEARCH_DN= passwd:(cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu)
   NS_LDAP_SEARCH_DN= group:(cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu)
   NS_LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE= NS_LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE
   NS_LDAP_SEARCH_TIME= 30
   

2. Create /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred:
   #
   # Do not edit this file manually; your changes will be lost.Please use
   # ldapclient (1M) instead.
   #
   NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu
   

3. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf so the "passwd:" line reads:
   passwd: file ldap

4. To test:
   /usr/bin/listusers
   
   

   should give a list of users.
