More importantly, ipa-client-install is just a thin configuration tool. If ipa-client-install is not available on your platform you can configure everything manually and it will work (as long as the client is standard-compliant). I.e. the client side is *in the worst case* (without ipa-client-install) equally hard to setup as for any home-made solution. -- Petr^2 Spacek -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
