<PRE>Le 22/11/2010 12:56, Buchan Milne a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> I would prefer if we can instead use:
</I>&gt;<i> -&quot;rootbinddn&quot; in /etc/ldap.conf, not binddn
</I>&gt;<i> -place password in /etc/ldap.secret
</I>&gt;<i> -use nscd, so all LDAP access is as root (so, no need to expose passwords in 
</I>&gt;<i> files that must be world-readable), as a side-effect also avoiding problems 
</I>&gt;<i> with file descriptors used by any process doing a user lookup etc.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Permissions on /etc/ldap.conf should be 0644, /etc/ldap.secret can be 0600.
</I>Even better, give ldap write access to individual admin accounts, and
not to root user. No need to store any password, and you keep track of
who's doing what.
