[NBLUG/talk] More OpenLDAP....

I had to wrestle with OpenLDAP a few months ago, but I got so  
frustrated (I couldn't do anything without it throwing a cryptic  
error message!) that I switched my efforts to ApacheDS, and it worked  
just fine.  I have not looked back.

Thanks for the response Lincoln! I got it working fine under Ubuntu Server 7.04. I even was able to migrate my passwd and group files into LDIF and add them into the directory. But I am trying to replace the NIS server with OpenLDAP and this is as far as I can get. When I start looking at the pam-ldap and nss-ldap files from padl.com I run into trouble trying to login into the machine. My Ultimate goal is to get sendmail authenticating against the LDAP directory for mail delivery.I was just wondering if anyone else might have any experience with either of these two files. I'd be happy to show you how I got OpenLDAP to work and how I populated the directory.

I'm new to the Group I just registered last week or so. I also have a large amount of parts that I would like to part with (no pun intended). I can bring them to the next install fest. Just so you know it's nothing exciting:

some small HDs, 
some CD drives
Lots of cables
some motherboards and memory

I don't know if anyone is interested, but they are good "garage hacking" parts. 

BTW: Does anyone know much about OpenLDAP?

Hey, Mark:

For the stuff Chris doesn't want:
We are nearly ready to announce the next installfest - the probable date 
will be Sat. October 20th.  If you are interested in lugging it down, I 
could try and drum up other interested parties...

To bad I am missing the next meet, I might just prep a box of stuff
and hand it off to someone that is going. I think a big box of "works
in linux" stuff might be kind of handy for install/hack fests.

I know the Installfest box that I store at my house has at least a half 
dozen network cards in it - I guess way back before my time there was a 
need for that but linux has come a long way...

I am guessing the nics pile up, I have a few wireless cards (b and g)
that work in Linux. I am not sure who asked me at the last
installfest, but I was trying to troubleshoot your wifi problem. If
you still haven't found a good working wifi card, let me know.

That's not a PC, that's a hub! :-)

Assembly language experience is [important] for the maturity and
understanding of how computers work that it provides.

Ah - I should have been more clear:  I meant 'box' in the traditional 
sense of 'a storage container' rather than 'a computer'.  A computer 
with 6 or more network cards would be pretty interesting...

Can you be a little more specific about the size of the hard drives  
and/or the vintages of the motherboards?

I had to wrestle with OpenLDAP a few months ago, but I got so  
frustrated (I couldn't do anything without it throwing a cryptic  
error message!) that I switched my efforts to ApacheDS, and it worked  
just fine.  I have not looked back.
