Do you think a new attribute in ldap would help? I mean, it would be
possibile to add a faxGroup attribute to the currently used LDAP schema
(is it posixUser?) and use it as hylafax uid? Of course it will not be
usable via PAM, but it could be used when hylafax+ directly access LDAP.

Moreover, I just checked ldap authentication in hylafax+ source code.
From what I understand, this only works on LDAP schema that have a
groupMembership (is it Novell eDirectory schema?). It would not work on
posixGroup as they use memberUid attribute instead. Is it correct?

Bye,
Giuseppe
