[Fedora-directory-devel] Re: autotools and summer of code
by Ahmed H. EL Zein 10 May '06

Hello FDS developers, I have been trying to install FDS on my Debian box and both the Debian&Ububtu howto and the dsbuild tool are proving quite a headache! I would have liked to do a ./configure, setting up prefixes to suit me but I understand that is not easy right now! I found these links: http://code.google.com/soc-results.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/fds-build/ and I wanted to ask what is the status of the move to an autotools build system! did the the work done by Adrian Bunk find its way into the source tree? if not what was wrong with his method and what would be more suitable if someone wanted to have a go at it!

At the time there wasn't any open source project to contribute it to, will have to see if I can dig it up. It was only tested with SunOne but I expect it will work here. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc OpenLDAP Core Team http://www.openldap.org/project/

[Fedora-directory-devel] userPassword/sambaNTPassword synchronization
by Jonathan Barber 09 May '06

Hi, I'm currently looking at using FDS as a backend for Samba 3. The issue I have is with sync'ing of the userpassword, sambaNTPassword, and sambaLMPassword attributes, so that each of our user's accounts have consistant password for each attribute. Samba can be configured to change all three of these attributes when it recieves a password change request (the "ldap passwd sync" directive), but when the passwords are changed outwith samba (FDS console, ldappasswd, etc.), the passwords lose sync. It therefore seems sensible to write a FDS plugin to intercept password modification attempts, and for the plugin to create all of the required hashes. Before starting, I thought it'd be sensible to see if: 1) It was a good idea, or is there something blindingly obvious I've missed which means it won't work. 2) Is there any ongoing work in this area that I can contribute to rather than rolling my own. WRT 2) I've seen the openldap smbk5pwd overlay, which does what I want, but appears to be openldap specific. Any comments? Cheers. -- Jonathan Barber High Performance Computing Analysis Tel. +44 (0) 1382 386389
