You might check out LightSys (http://www.lightsys.org/), though I think they only deal with missions groups. Tim, a lightsys guy, also participates in the CS-FSLUG Mailing list. He may be willing to help out voluntarily - don't know. For your church, The Freely Project has a new helpdesk for GNU/Linux and other free and open source software. It's open only to churches. Not sure if anyone there is a Debian Guru, but they could use one.
http://matheteuo.org has links to most of the Christian-related FOSS resources on the web - at least the primary ones. Don ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: adduser problem Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 22:45:34 -0500 From: Jim Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian User List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings, I volunteer in my church's computer lab (hence my email name) and advocate Linux where and whenever possible. We have a sarge system as a test system. A very knowledgeable Debian expert (call him Buddy) helped me set it up. I started getting used to it, especially apt, because I've been using RedHat since I started using Linux. About a year ago, my local LUG set up a small weekly newspaper with Linux. The workstations are dual boot W98/RedHat 7.3 (don't ask, long story), the server is Debian (named debbie). Buddy set it up. He is very, very good, but had to do some customization (maybe a lot). After doing updates, upgrades, and dist-upgrades on the lab test system with no apparent ill effects, I thought it was time to do the same to the newspapers server. In the process I broke 'adduser'. So far, the solution appears to involve LDAP. None of us seems to have much experience with that. Buddy has since moved and isn't responding to emails. The newspaper has been working on a series of articles about the switchover from Windoze to Linux. Right now they're not very happy with Debian. Is there anyone who offers paid, secure support for Debian? Donation to the Debian project is also acceptable. Remote access can be provided. I don't know if this is the correct thing to do, but I'm totally lost and don't know what else to do. I haven't included any specifics because I don't know what would be needed or if this list is the right place to post this request.
