LDAP and ProFtpd

[Shain M. <sm...@tv...>]

Hi,
I am thinking of setting up proftpd to authenticate with our ldap
server.  I have been testing it out and I am able to authenticate the
username and password.  The next step is to be able to pull the account
information (home directory, shell, etc) from the server as well.  I
have been looking around and it looks like I need to set up the account
stuff in posix form.  I am not too sure about posix.  Can anyone tell me
how I should go about doing doing this?  I see that the user objectclass
is set to top now.  Can users have multiple objectclasses?  Right now
the users do not have entries for homeDirectory of loginShell...do I
need to completely redo the entries in the ldap server or can can I
modify the existing one?  Thanks for any help of URLs that anyone can
provide me with.
Shain
