Hi ,all : I am a newbie to here and I also install the 389 ds in our company for managering all users account and passwd . Today , The boss asked me if the ds could set the users vnc screen geometry in the config file . Because the user's computer screen is not the same and have different geometries. If it could , then we were happy that can solve the user's vnc problem . Then , I try to search it via Googling , but have not search the useful information about it yet . I know we can use the ds to set the uid or home directory and so on , can the 389 ds do it ?Or maybe add some atrributes ? Could someone give me some suggestions about it ? Thanks in advance ~ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20100824/11971918/attachment-0002.html>

I'm not aware of any that offer any kind of LDAP integration. I don't think you'll get anywhere with this, but you'd probably get more help if you told us what VNC server you're using.

Do you mean that it is possbile that the vnc geometry attribute integrated in that LDAP Server ?
