[Gllug] Users, Password and more....

[Peter Childs]

	One or two have asked me to better describe what the project is I'm 
currently doing so, I'll have a go.

	Express National Carriers is a Hire Car Company based in central 
London SE1 that uses a computerised booking systems based on a Honeywell 
Bull DPS6 currently.

	The project is to move this system on to a more modern computer 
system. 

	Due to the highly network situation where jobs can wait Windows 
was decided to be not capable of the job. and also too expensive.

	Currently The plan is (and we are well on our way to having some 
of it implemented)

Hardware.

Thin Clients, CAT5 LAN, Servers, etc

Software,

Postgres (for our database server) (Current 7.3rc3 really ought to upgrade 
to 7.3.1)
Jabber (for sending messages around the network)
Custom Built app written in Qt and C++ (plus one or two other libraries)
NFS (For shared files)
LDAP (I don't under stand this at all!)

	If you want more please ask I've only given a summary here. If you 
are really interested give us an E-Mail and we might have some jobs 
available. If you wish to book a Car phone the office on 02074033333 (End 
Sales Pitch)

	My problem currently is passwords. LDAP's documentation terrible. 
Ideally I want to just have my passwords in my Posgres Database and check 
them from there. Any ideas?
