Re: BSD and Active Directory?

So now to my question: I have a Microsoft 2003 Active Directory server and an already working configuration for a Centos/redhat environment. But my problem has occured when trying to include the BSD (openbsd 4,5 with login_ldap installed) servers and clients in the solution. I've found a guide (http://www.obfuscurity.com/2009/08/OpenBSD-as-an-LDAP-Client) that speaks of this but it seems to be non-functional. So my question is how does one via login_ldap connect to a AD and auth USER that is not in the passwd file on the machine? ... You could try a book instead, /LDAP System Administration/ by Gerald Carter, O'Reilly ISBN-13: 978-1-56592-491-8 It is probably on http://safari.oreilly.com The Unix examples are generic, (i.e. not for Linux only) And I would second the suggestion to explore Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) Another solution is to get yp to work from OpenBSD to OpenBSD, then add LDAP on top, then migrate to AD, right now you cannot tell if your problems are in YP, LDAP, KERBEROS, or Microsoft AD... -- Mauro Rezzonico ma...@ch23.org, Como, Italia Maybe this world is another planet's hell - H.Huxley

Even if the externally powered USB disk never fails, still there is the chance that the two independently power supplied boxes get out of sync, for instance in the event of a power cycle... You power cycle both of them: do they come back again in time to pick each other?

Point here is that I am not considering raid as an alternative to backup, but as a way to keep the system up... Please correct me if I am wrong, but when your drive fails you have *TWO* problems: 1) you have to restore from your (well kept, well done, well designed and well verified) backups (a big *IF*, if I can say); 2) the system is down until you restore everything; So, either you have the luxury (or the need) of a hot spare machine... Or a raid solution can /help/ you recover more quickly... or not? Please note that although raid and/or backups and how they are configured in respect to each other and how they are deployed is a *very* fascinating topic (and I am *very* interested in hearing everybody's ideas, opinions, experiences on this) actually this is an off topic debate... Because my original question was indeed very narrow: Hardware or Software? I think we all got sucked into a very serious/complex/fascinating/interesting/whatever issue, that of how to make your system more reliable, in these difficult days of complex network architectures... But this is just a can of worms... I wouldn't dare to mail such a question to the list... You see: - what if you have raid level whatever everywhere? - what if you can implement hot spare machines? - what if your valuable data is mainly into a RDMS? - what if your disks are cheap and your cpus are expensive? - what if your disks are expensive and your cpus are cheap? - what if you are using VMs? - what if you just use ZFS everywhere (sorry I couldn't resist)? - what if you are on the cloud (sorry I couldn't resist)?
