Ride into work for Wednesday, 02 August
Bit of a wet ride in today, so I took a shorter route into work.
Still fighting Fedora. Today's discovery was finding that installing openldap to use LDAP for user management stops Fedora from booting due to hald relying on openldap running, and openldap relying on hald running. Classy.

Steve,
Thats why I only trust /etc/passwd! It might be time to use Solaris too! :).

The only reason openldap is going on there is because of some shonky windows tool that does some sort of machine management (the windows consultant the client has was a bit handwavey about the whole thing). He called this tool "nitrobitch". I couldn't make this stuff up.
I think this is going to end up with me telling the client it's not going to work... I guess that's what you get when you insist on installing an OS that quite openly states it isn't stable!
Aaaaaand... It's not going to work. It seems that Fedora updated smbldap, which installed/hosed samba.schema, which means that none of the directory management tools can create samba compatible groups. Maybe next week the tools will get updated? Hurrah for moving targets.

At least its something interesting to shoot at.

I've always hated LDAP/X.500. Directory services always seem to be more complicated than I think they should be. i.e. client configuration means editing one file that says:
primary authserver: hostx.
seconday authserver: hosty
Server config:
user:
password:
home directory:
That should be it!
