Hi. I installed the LDAP auth contrib and it works well. I was able to authenticate a moodle instance from the LDAP database. I was able to use information like username, email address, first name and family name. What I wasn't able to do, however, was take any info from the default directory set up on the server-manager. It would be great to be able to populate the LDAP database with the defaults we set up on the server-manager.

Are you sure it does not do that? I though this was implemented.
-
Oops. I was looking at the admin user. The normal user has lots of stuff auto-populated. Sorry about that!
Oh, one more thing. The home folder under LDAP gets listed as: /home/e-smith/files/users/username. Is there anyway to have it listed as /home/e-smith/files/users/username/home - the actual home folder?

Not sure, but your best bet to have it at least considered is to raise a bug in the bugtracker for it. Please post a reference to the bug, once you have created one, here for future readers.

I used to post NFRs (or ideas) on the bugtracker, but recently they were all tagged as "Closed - Not Doing It". Am hesitant to post more.

You could still add them, but keep in mind that we have a limited team of volunteers trying to keep this distribution running.
If you really need features you could sponsor a developer or help coding them yourself.
-
I don't really need the feature. It's just a suggestion. Any offer of funding coming from me is likely to be taken as an insult by the devs.

I wonder why that would be seen as an insult... and think you are wrong.

I was typing the same sentence.. :-)

As a one-income teacher with three kids my disposable funds are not sufficient to allow me to offer a generous enough bounty on features beneficial to SME. Any amount I can afford is likely to be insulting as a offer to a dev.
-
As I can only speak for myself. I have to believe a sincere offer may not put it on the front burner, but may get results over time.
Being in an industry where a simple "thank you" is rarely heard, when it does occur they get the above and beyond treatment.
Anyways, I don't think anyone would be insulted by a honest respectful offer. JMHO
