    Scripting LDAP client install

    Hi all. I'm looking to script the installation of libnss-ldap on several hundred systems so that they can authenticate against my LDAP server. This would be pretty easy, except when installing libnss-ldap (via apt-get install on Ubuntu), a prompting system comes up to ask for details of your setup. It will be easy to copy the appropriate conf files from a script after doing the install if I can just ignore (or script "clickthrough" even) the setup prompts. Apt-get install -q doesn't work to not bring this up. Does anyone know of any other way to give a truly quiet install, or to script accepting defaults in the semi-graphic type of setup utility that installing this brings up?

    PS I've found information about doing seed files, but don't quite get how that works. If someone has gone down that path and has a good resource, that would be appreciated.
