Hello
I mean this is is not working
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer

first squeeze change the dc-examples lines with the name of my router.

second, this operation is not standard:

Code:

Now, add your entries to the LDAP:

    *

      stop LDAP daemon: sudo /etc/init.d/slapd stop
    *

      delete the content that was automatically added at installation: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/ldap/*
    *

      add the new content sudo slapadd -l init.ldif 
    *

      correct permissions on the database sudo chown -R openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap
    *

      start LDAP daemon: sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start

there shoudl be some tools to add users normally without changing that much the config

for the moment, what i did was:
adding the password to the slapd.conf
and the restart of slapd works, luckily
and there is already error

i mean Linux is not made easy. They could really make how to working, write it well, or really have higher policy for beeing understood by normal public.

whatever I do I have :

Code:

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

will it be again one week trying till no results?

i mean how to setup a NFS, no one knows, there is 20x ways of making nfs export server, and one cannot find anything with google. What a pitty, that information is messy, lost, and really not good.

The creator of the programs should really do something.
Write their howto themself, really, and manpages.

Try:
man ldap
nothing.
wow super, great.

that's Linux, but ok, its better than xp.

Code:

ldapmodify -a -D "cn=Directory Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -w password -h server1 -f new.ldif

OK, how to add an user, now, using ldapmodify?
how that SSH/ /home are already using, on the server, this LDAP system? In /etc/password, those 1001, 1002, ... i.e. users id's are they the same as the LDAP? Nowhere it is written.

Please give a config on the server /etc/exports file?

Please give on the clients the /etc/fstab to use?
and what to install to make it /home the same as the server

I have an idea:

Could someone program a single script:

installer-LDAP.sh client
or
installer-LDAP.sh server

and in the menu, one can select add client, restart, ... with menu dialog
Why no-one does those simple things, I mean, or it should be coder, or man maker, or we can fund a dpkg-configure thing
