<Aaron> ?
<Aaron> do tell..
<Aaron> mh_le: I'm earger to hear, so i can adjust my advice accordingly.
<mh_le> I forgot to set the BASE and HOST directives in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
<Aaron> fascinating
<Aaron> i've never had to screw with those.
<mh_le> aparantly adduser_ox uses the iformation in there
<Aaron> ah!
<Aaron> logical i suppose
<Aaron> well you'll certainly be able to help new openXchange users then.
<Aaron> having been through it yourself :)
<mh_le> yeah, you can say that again :)
<mh_le> now it is #postgresql I'm buging ;)
<Aaron> hehehe
<Aaron> mh_le: well I'm happy you're past the ldap part anyway :)
<Aaron> ehhe
<Aaron> now i'm all hungry again
<Aaron> brb
<mh_le> thanks :)
<Aaron> Happy to help.
<mh_le> re
<Aaron> er.
<ptiggerdine> ah.
<mh_le> ;)
<Aaron> whats a-going on mh_le ?
<mh_le> just researching how easy/difficult it would be to migrate user accounts to LDAP..
<Aaron> from what?
<mh_le> from /etc/p***wd
<apeiron> Probably not *too* hard, considering the database which /etc/p***wd references is rather structured.
<Aaron> *nod*
<Aaron> some sort of script thing could parse it, and build an ldif
<Aaron> in fact, someone's probably already done it
<Aaron> apeiron: isnt there some sort of migration tools that come with openldap or are available?
<apeiron> Aaron: I guess so. I would just whip up some [insert dynamic language here] to do it.
<apeiron> I would imagine most existing tools would ***ume a predetermined destination layout and support a limited set of p***wd formats. Rather than try the hard way to see if they worked in my environment, I'd just do my own.
<mh_le> hmm there might even be gui tool for it in my distro..
<Aaron> hmmm :)
<Aaron> http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html
<Aaron> that's it
<Aaron> I was told they're quite good
<mh_le> Aaron: thanks alot :)
<Aaron> welcome, hope it works
<Aaron> I do know it /wont/ work on a mac.
<Aaron> hehe
<mh_le> I used suse gui.. but I*m not sure I'm even logging in over LDAP..
<Aaron> right now, you're not logged into the system through LDAP
<Aaron> given the state your directory was in when we spoke last, it would be impossible
<mh_le> yeah, when I ran the programs I got a dialogs that new logins would be over LDAP.. but there is no user data in the database..
<Aaron> o.0
<Aaron> I'd try to make sure that the system can be set back to shadow/p***wd
<Aaron> .. just in case
<mh_le> yeah
<mh_le> no kidding
<Aaron> heheh
<Gagatan> moin
<mh_le> nomorning
<mh_le> err
<mh_le> morning
<asyd> \_o<
<Aaron> mh_le: I believe it's german for Morning
<Aaron> mh_le: but then I havent looked it up recently.
<mh_le> yeah I know... ;)
<reiffert> :-)
<Aaron> ah
<Aaron> I'm not up on my EU geography.
<Aaron> I know where Italy is, where France is, and Great Britain.
<Aaron> and some others
<Aaron> but then i dont know where each US state is either
<Aaron> *shrug*
<asyd> :)
<reiffert> Aaron: yeah, and did you know that the swiss is in the republic of tschescheslowakia?
<Aaron> not that I dont love all my EU friends..
<Aaron> I just dont /have/ to know that kind of thing
<Aaron> reiffert: I'm going to call BS on that one
<reiffert> Who is BS?
<Aaron> Bull****.
<reiffert> Well, there was a CNN Picture showing this. Let me find it.
<Aaron> Or, for more polite company, BB - for "bull butter"
<Aaron> ah
<Aaron> hehe
<Gagatan> heh.. I heard once someone saying that Norway was the capitol of Sweden.. mostly by americans
<Aaron> hah
<Aaron> I'm not that ignorant
<Gagatan> good for you :)
<Aaron> not that i know the capitol of sweden
<Aaron> but I know norway is a country
<reiffert> http://www.budda.ch/privat/fun/img_pol/cnn.png
<Aaron> on the northern coast.
<b***-> moin
<reiffert> http://images.google.de/images?svnum=10&hl=de&lr=&q=cnn+schweiz&btnG=Suche
<reiffert> http://informationr.net/ir/reviews/sofrev08/norway.gif
<Aaron> hah
<Aaron> my confidence in CNN just keeps growning </sarcasm>
<Aaron> er
<Aaron> growing
<Aaron> haha
<reiffert> :-)
<Aaron> oh nice
<Aaron> "war against terror"
<Aaron> perhaps they should add a "war on ignorance"
<mh_le> Aaron: Sweden's capitol is Stockholm :)
<Aaron> or "war against stupidity in news networks who should know better by now"
<Aaron> I dont know any *istan or *ovakia countries though
<Aaron> although I could randomly generate some names for them if they're in the market
<Gagatan> mh_le: where in the kingdom of Denmark do you live btw?
<mh_le> Gagatan: on Zealand
<Gagatan> where's that?
<Aaron> that's Old Zealand, right?
<Aaron> ;)
<mh_le> Gagatan: the island where Chpenhagen is ;)
<mh_le> Aaron: Yup
<mh_le> I mean copenhangen
<Gagatan> mh_le: ah.. I'm not very good at danish geography.. I usually only visit Skagen once a year or so (competitive sailing)
<Gagatan> too long since I was in Roskilde as well.. bloody 11 years
<mh_le> o right
<mh_le> I lived in Roskilde for a period
<Gagatan> Koster is danish, right?
<mh_le> in what context?
<Gagatan> geography.. I've been there during summer.. also sailing :P
<mh_le> I'm not familiar with the name I must admit..
<mh_le> yay! I found out where ldap keeps it's logs..
<Aaron> /var/log/openldap?
<mh_le> Aaron: no /var/lib/ldap
<_ranger_> mh_le, it would help if you said *which* logs
<_ranger_> I guess you mean transaction logs
<Aaron> /var/lib is the oddest thing I've ever seen
<_ranger_> which by default will live in the database dir
<mh_le> jesus christ! WHY in gods name are the logs binary?
<_ranger_> mh_le, log* files in /var/log/ldap (or, your database directory) are *transaction* logs
<_ranger_> they are not the logs of the LDAP server, but the transaction logs of the database backend/library
<mh_le> ah
<mh_le> okay
<_ranger_> they are not used for monitoring the server but allowing you to recover the database
<_ranger_> OpenLDAP logs to syslog
<_ranger_> so, you'll have to check your syslog configuration to find where the logs go
<Aaron> hm
<Aaron> quick question. not ldap related
<Aaron> anyone have really good luck with a laptop/brand ?
<mh_le> dell
<mh_le> runs linux good
<Aaron> well it's just going to be a windows box
<Aaron> I'm more concerned with hardware quality
<mh_le> Aaron: well the floppy drive did fail, but that's the only thing... I don't think laptops even come with floppies anymore..
<Gagatan> mh_le: ibm.. dell is too plastic and have crappy support (I have one myself)
<_ranger_> and, if you can't afford IBM, maybe HP ...
<Gagatan> might be that danish dell-support is better than here in Norway though.. but the quality stays the same (e.g. not too good - but ok)
Return to ldap

Go to some related
