Hi All, I have been using grml for the last couple of months. I am building a network of about 20 machines, all running grml, and I want them to share a single set of login names and passwords. So I decided to configure OpenLDAP as a service on one machine and configure the other machines to find login+password from this service.
I am following the instructions set out at: http://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/NSS http://www.debian-administration.org/article/585/OpenLDAP_installation_on_Debian They suggest I use libnss-ldap. But this package seems to be missing from my copy of grml 2010.04. I have also checked the package list for 2010.12 and that does not contain libnss-ldap. This seems a strange omission from grml. It contains slapd to run the service and several clients such as freeradius-ldap, libnet-ldap-perl, postfix-ldap, and smbldap-tools. So why not libnss-ldap? I could install libnss-ldap on each client machine. But then I have to repeat those same steps on 20 machines, which makes it 20 times more likely I will make a mistake somewhere. I tried "apt-get install libnss-ldap" on a test machine. This started updating libc-bin and installing locales, which seemed a good way of breaking the distro. Can anyone suggest a better approach? Should I remaster the CD? Is there some gmrl magic I am missing? Is there a different tool for login+password that is not ldap?
