you don't need DNS, but proper host entries would be a plus, for obvious reason:)<br />
Configure your /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf.<br />
I'd Cc: Wesly's link to lbe (LDAP Browser Editor) too

After much work I have an openldap server running under suse 9.1.<br />
<br />
I used command line 'ldapadd&quot; &nbsp;and an ldif script to populate my directory and a user. <br />
<br />
How do I change the user's password so I can get the user to login ? &nbsp; This is at home and there are like 3 machines, do I need to be a DNS server or can I just use a few host entries ? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
directory_administrator, webadmin and GQ were unable to adminstrate this and I was wondering if there is a better tool to administrate this. &nbsp;GQ is able to show me the directory but can not seem to change anything. &nbsp;Somehow I need to be the Manager. &nbsp;

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
