Not entirely ... I have't got postfix->ldap authentication working, and I am doing most work on this on a 9.1 box (since that machine is not involved in ldap replication etc as my cooker box is, and I want to have a machine left to ensure replication works on a real-life openldap on the cooker upgrade). > > Thanks!!!

Someone I helped by email with some samba/LDAP problems in a large-ish deployment asked me if I had a wishlist, which I subsequently set up, and I just received a few books from Amazon, including Jerry (Gerald) Carter's O'Reilly LDAP System Administration, and Learning Perl, so I have learnt a thing or two that might be worth implementing from the first book if I can bend my head around the second one enough to do it ;-). > Oh, when things do get moving in Cooker, someone needs to > s/openldap/libldap2-devel/ the BuildRequires for Postfix. Looks like we need a todo list for some packages (since it's probably not ideal to have bugs for each little thing like this ....). I'll see if I can take a look at these issues this week, starting tonight .... I also still need to run some tests on samba3-beta2, and bug Warly about klama enough so I can build samba3 there unless the samba3 RPMS are destined to be built on my own cooker box ;-).
