Message-ID: I couldn't find a user group though that specializes in mac server tech, especially when combined with open source management tools, so I figured I'd ask here, since there is some historical overlap between FreeBSD and Mac OS X. My apologies if this is off topic. (I'm not 100% sure if it is. Please do let me know if it is, as I don't want to offend). Looking for someone who can do some subcontracting work in the area of server management (open directory), AFP, and centralized desktop management using tools such as Puppet and Munki.

The general outline at this point is (we think): o far I have the following o Docs updating and validation a. What does the other bsd's say b. is it it accurate c. Improvements d. New docs / examples o Porting help for creating new ports o Ports bug busting a. Confirming pr's b. fixes to open pr's c. Testing various config options ie can I set var=yes in make.conf and get useful results People can plan ahead if they have specific tasks they want to tackle, but it's certainly not necessary if you don't have anything.

Greeting- Actually I am not migrating from another LADP. This is a new install. I am migrating from /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd. I generated the LDIF file using the PADL tools for migration because I could not find any clear info on what the schema for passwd needed to be. Once I can get my entry loaded with the bogus password field. I will put together my own little bit of AWK to generate a proper entry from /etc/master.passwd as I presume the encrypted password really needs to be in the LDAP DB. I will take a look at the config file (basic stock from the isntall with as I recall the names changed to match my site) and see what that brings based upon your advice above.

If I remember correctly, that means there's an error in your first line, probably some unseen white space or a return, apparently in the first line. Try removing and re-adding the first line. I haven't dealt with LDAP in a long time however. I would say, if you get the error again, redo it, making sure no white space at the top of the file--that is, if you show numbers, the dn should be at the first line and make sure there are returns after each line. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: It's time for me to act like a man... and hide.

Greeting- I just took a fast scan of your page. It looks to have better info than any that I have found so far. I am working on only 4 hours of sleep today, so I will probably actually read it tomorrow and then see if I can make my server actually work. I am really starting to hate LDAP and while I hate the "let's re-invent the wheel thing that happens much of the time in GNU/Linux land......I think LDAP needs to be replaced. NIS while insecure was dead simple to set up. The combination of HESIOD and KERBOS which I used on my own network and as a HACK-TARGET at one of the HOPE conventions was a bit more complex, but nothing a mid-level SA could not handle, so either I am the worst 30+ year SA in the world or LDAP should retire from the arena. My thinking is that something like using NIS for serving out /etc/passwd (note no passwords there) and RADIUS to do the auth would be simpler and would also be fairly secure. I bet that if we actually put some thought to it we could come up with something even better. I sure hope I can make the next meeting.....have missed them the last few months. Thanks to everyone that responded. When I get this actually working I will document it for others. -Brett From scottro at nyc.rr.com Tue Jul 24 19:28:01 2012 From: scottro at nyc.rr.com (Scott Robbins) Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 19:28:01 -0400 Subject: [nycbug-talk] OpenLDAP Server on FreeBSD-9 In-Reply-To: <201207242319.q6ONJJmP006540@mail.wynn.com> References: <20120724183016.GA10492@scott1.scottro.net> <201207242319.q6ONJJmP006540@mail.wynn.com> Message-ID: <20120724232801.GA12436@scott1.scottro.net> > > > > I have my own, aged page, at > > http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/ldap.html mostly done in > > Linux on CentOS, not used on FreeBSD, though I think at one point a BSD > > box authenticated off it. > > Greeting- > > I just took a fast scan of your page.

Whoa, sorry this doesn't answer your question, but I have to ask. Isn't the telephone company required to maintain copper lines to all residences by law? There's a universal access surcharge on all of our phone bills for that reason. If Verizon is pushing FIOS that hard, that's a surprising level of desperation.

You cant quote me but I believe that if Verizon is a Regulated Public Utility they have to maintain their infrastructure for the public good. However that's fairly vague and big red could claim that fiber and copper are the same. Other then that my biggest issue here is this: with POTS verizon provides emergency power to provide ringing and line voltage . So if the power goes out , my phone still works . With fios , the consumer now has to provide backup power to provide ringing and line voltage . Which at best is about 2hrs,with the fios ups they provide. I, as the consumer, could upgrade this but its my cost and why should I have to upgrade big reds gear to maintain the same level of service provided by the older "more antiquated " copper service. -- Mark Saad | mark.saad at ymail.com From cwolsen at ubixos.com Tue Jul 31 10:22:15 2012 From: cwolsen at ubixos.com (Christopher Olsen) Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:22:15 -0400 Subject: [nycbug-talk] Florida Tech Message-ID: <006801cd6f27$e2990820$a7cb1860$@ubixos.com> Hello Everyone, Can anyone recommend a technician in the central Florida area (Eustis, Orlando) I could use a set of hands to install some wireless access points. -Christopher -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
