You're wrong again

Your local auth services are configured to use LDAP as a source, whatever your local auth mechanism is checks credentials, and then you're auth'd or not. Some distros have easy to use interfaces to configure this, some don't, but mostly it's just configuring pam.d (for Linux), and a caching daemon of some sort to keep locally cached copies of the shadow info so you can auth when the LDAP server can't be contacted (if you've previously authenticated once). You can set up many different authentication sources and backends as well, and set their preferences, restrictions, options...etc.

RHEL/Fedora examples: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/pam-authconfig

Debian examples: https://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/PAM

Then you don't understand how it works with local auth services.

You didn't read the article

I think you're missing the point of LDAP then. It's a centralized directory used for querying information. It's not necessarily about user information, but can be anything.

What you're asking for is akin to locally hosting a SQL server that other machines can talk to? Then it's just a server. Start an LDAP server somewhere, then talk to it. That's how it works.

If you don't want a network service for this purpose, then don't use LDAP. If you want a bunch of users to exist on many machines without having to manually create them, then use LDAP, or a system configuration tool that creates and keeps them all eventually consistent.

I'm okay with this.

Not the green party or communist not jobs necessarily, but the Pro-Putin, "Ukraine is Nazis", warmongering types...yup.

I think they just mean he's going to be shouting and borderline, if not outright, sexist and racist.

I've seen a lot of seriously obvious and unapologetic shilling for very out there positions around here. The further telltale sign is that when one popular poster starts getting regularly rebuffed and shutdown, backup arrives not long after to pollute a thread with their bullshit.

Guaranteed they are all over the Fediverse and probably hosting their own instances.

I remember this show. I also remember it having better features in it. This is still neat though.
