Adding fake users to LDAP searches

[tlindner@waterma]

I have several mailman mailing lists which I would like users to be able to find whenever they search for people in the LDAP database.

How can I add entries for these mailing list in the LDAP database?

Add them as users into your database but don’t allow login. Have a look at how the system has set up the user ‘Unknow User’ and you can see how to have a useless user in your list. Just make the home directory in /var and the login shell as /usr/bin/false.
