Simo. -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York Simo, I agree with your advice. But yes, we are a small group, and even if every user login stalls by a second - well, so be if for now. How do you do that - that's the question? So far I have succeeded in neither finding the correct RPM, nor building the source from scratch. The build process breaks as follows: ... checking for nss3/nss.h... yes checking dirsrv/slapi-plugin.h usability... no checking dirsrv/slapi-plugin.h presence... no checking for dirsrv/slapi-plugin.h... no configure: error: Required DS slapi plugin header not available (fedora-ds-base-devel) make: *** [bootstrap-autogen] Error 1 [administrator@dellfluor freeipa-1.2.2]$ Any idea how to overcome this?

Would we be talking CentOS 6? Boris. Well, RHEL 6.2 (due out before the end of the year) will include a fully-supported version of FreeIPA as Red Hat Identity Management. Presumably, whenever CentOS 6.2 is released, it will also carry this package. It's likely to be possible to get it to run on CentOS 6.0, but it will require some elbow grease. I also agree with the earlier comments that 512MB is not enough to run the OS + FreeIPA. ___ Agreed! Even my test setup with 10 clients started swapping on an IPA server with 1GB of memory. It now uses approx 1,7GB of memory after the IPA server was increased to 2GB. What if you just give it massive amounts of swap though? I had plenty of swap... The lookups and responsiveness of both client logins and using the webui increased significantly after adding more memory. Memory if cheap, 2GB is not asking much.

Boris, I have virtual machines to which I give 768M of Ram, it works ok for few tests. Of course my host machine has much more RAM and probably caches the swap. a Bare metal with only 512M would probably be *very* slow. Although, maybe if you use the (non production/test only) --selfsign option to not install the PKI then java/tomcat would not be started which may make it work well enough. But then you wouldn't be able to fully test the PKI stuff.
