Quanah, Thank you for everything. It all works. :) (Something very strange had occurred with the 389 port being in a strange state that forced me to, finally, reboot as there was nothing running and even netstat, netcat and everything else said somethign was running but ps -elf said slapd wasn't there. *shrug*) My latest problem: I have the freeradius schema in my schemas. I verified this: ls -sal /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/cn=schema/cn={12}freeradius.ldif I also verified that the attribute that I want to access, dialupAccess is in there with a grep for it on that file. I'm trying to figure out how to make this attribute part of my user profiles so that I can check to see if this is set to 'yes' or 'no' for VPN access. dn: cn={12}freeradius objectClass: olcSchemaConfig cn: {12}freeradius...olcAttributeTypes: {56}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.11344.4.3.1.57 NAME 'dialupAccess' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 SINGLE-VALUE ) ..
I can see this is an object class of olcSchemaConfig but how do I add that to my user profiles? THank you! Paul
