Fiesty Edubuntu will configure and use Samba/LDAP to manage users, so adding a second server will require an NFS mount and an LDAP client configuration. (This will not in itself take care of LDAP replication, which will require manual setup in Fiesty.) > Does anyone already do this? Are there any such docs? Is this a crazy > thing to try to do? Not at all a crazy thing; I maintain two schools that have two LTSP servers each. In both cases we're using Samba/OpenLDAP and NFS, and the randomness of DHCP determines which LTSP server handles each thin client. As far as docs, there's not too much I know of at this point. If you know how to configure LDAP & NFS you're all set. If LDAP is too intimidating you can try the Samba/LDAP installer I've worked on, though reading and following Chapter 6 of Terpstra's "Samba 3 By Example" would be better (because you'll learn how it works :). http://majen.net/smbldap/ Be warned that libnss-ldap has problems in Edgy; don't try LDAP in edgy until that's fixed. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/51315 --matt -- Open Source Software Engineering Consultant http://majen.net/ -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
