<br>
</span>Of course you can use local users for administrating your system. If<br>
there should only be some administrative accounts I would suggest to do<br>
it with normal /etc/passwd.<br>
<br>
And of course you could authenticate them against ldap - but this makes<br>
only sense, if you use the server for other services, where users have<br>
to have access to. I wouldn't recommend this.<br>
