Dear Ian,
thanks for the infos :)
I did need to migrate to CentOS 8 Stream as it was assured in this group
this would be the best way in the future a few months ago.
Is there an easy way to go from CentOS 8 Stream to Rocky Linux and would
this be the prefered way now?
(I need to have freeIPA running obviously and don't want anything to break
:))

Second question:
We were talking about the Debian Bullseye Client, not freeIPA server.
e.g. how to integrate a Debian Bullseye machine into freeIPA...
With Buster, we had the freeipa-client which was easy to install via apt,
now, it looks like thats not an option anymore... or are we just too early
to the party? :

Cheers

Nico
