Re: [Scottish] RHCE
Exactly. In our world the LPI makes sense, but sometimes the commercial world wants the brand. Is do LPI for staff and a couple of RHCE for the sales and marketing reasons.

I realise that this is not what you asked, however... I decided to do an LPI cert rather than RH or Novell, for the simple reason that it didn't seem to make sense as an open source advocate to go and do a vendor certification. Most, if not all vendors can't help but try and lock you in, and I wasn't interested in learning about a particular vendor's Linux "value add" proposition and the associated proprietary bits. I mean I'm sure they teach you a bunch of transferable skills, but why bother if there is a largely distro agnostic alternative? (that may be much cheaper too) That said I appreciate that we do live in a world where $SHINY wins-out and marketing hyperbole counts for something, sadly. So, it may be that you'd get more mileage out of a vendor cert. It'll almost certainly make dealings with the mind brokers less painful, as they're programmed to respond to brands and product names and prefer not to concern themselves with precisely what is is that their stock in trade actually does.

[Scottish] Fwd: [AberLUG] Free WiFi
- Forwarded Message - From: "Marcel Hecko" To: aberd...@mailman.lug.org.uk Sent: Friday, 24 July, 2009 22:25:45 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [AberLUG] Free WiFi Hi everybody, just for your information - you might remember that I have been working part-time on the WiFi project in Aberdeen - a project developed by Station House Media Unit, Woodside (www.shmu.org.uk). After almost two years of development we now have a very stable WiFi infrastructure throughout north of Aberdeen - from Tillydrone through Woodside to Middlefield (and surrounding areas) with the Middlefield area completely covered with a free WiFi signal. >From the open source technologies several projects are being used extensively including: FreeRADIUS Apache httpd OpenWRT GNU/Linux Nagios Smokeping MySQL Munin bandwidthd ROSinfo NTOP Squid3 CACTI and MRTG We have also developed several in-hose scripts to gather network information using PHP, Perl, shell script (BASH) and snippets of Ruby. The WiFi network infrastructure is built using MTI AP5822E0 5GHz bridges and MOIRE access points (designed by myself using Mikrotik Routerboards http://moire.maco.sk/ ) and OpenWRT solution flashed into NanoStation2 Ubiquity devices. The wired infrastructure is a mix of Linux-based routers and gateways running Ubuntu LTS 8.04 on ML110 HP servers, HP managed switches and many different unmanaged switches. I'm trying my best to keep the infrastructure as open as possible in means of used solutions, however sometimes (like in case of Mikrotik - which is based on GNU/Linux, but has many proprietary add-ons)) there are much cheaper and more efficient solutions available on the market than OSS. OSS can become very expensive :) The network uses OpenDNS solution to make the service more secure and to filter improper traffic. We are also preparing a community-driven portal page for WiFi users based on Drupal as a part of the European-funded project Incluso (http://www.incluso.org/) . Besides other information the portal will also include webcams from some interesting spots from the target areas. I would really appreciate some help with RTP-based webcams (Axis or anything else) - my idea is to stream RTP to a Linux server, get VLC to get the stream and transcode that stream to a format which Flash understands, so it can be displayed on the website. I have developed a solution,however I'm far from feeling happy about it, so if anybody has any experience with such setup please let me know. I am totally opened to other solutions - maybe moving JPEG would do?! If you have any questions about the project or if you might want to be involved in it (let me know how:) please mail me. And - if you (or your mates) happen to live in Middlefield even better - we can get you a fast connection to the internet for free. Or a bit slower connection by simply connecting to the WiFi network (SSID: ConnectedMiddlefield) using your laptop or mobile phone. Have a great time.

ObjectClasses start from #0, so value #6 in your LDIF is
'kerberosSecurityObject'
This will be included for the attribute 'krbName'.
This attribute isn't part of any of the schema files you have included in
slapd.conf

* mailRoutingAddress
* mailHost
* inetLocalMailRecipient
* kerberosSecurityObject
* krbName
If all you want to do is import the user accounts, you definitely don't
need these.
If you really want krbName, see:
http://osdir.com/ml/network.openldap.general/2002-11/msg00128.html
Who's version of OpenLDAP are you using btw?
In the Red Hat rpms you'll notice:
"* Wed Apr 30 2003 Nalin Dahyabhai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- update to 2.1.17
- disable the shell backend, not expected to work well with threads
- drop the kerberosSecurityObject schema, the krbName attribute it
contains is only used if slapd is built with v2 kbind support"

You'll then need to either migrate an existing tdb backend Samba setup
with pdbedit to import from tdb to LDAP:
pdbedit -y -i tdbsam: -e ldapsam:ldap://my.ldap.host
(man pdbedit)
Or use the smbldap-tools to add the samba attributes. See the main Samba
docs for this.

When hosting companies do this kind of thing, i.e. they provide hosted services, they tend to pick certain things. For example you don't see many mod_perl or postgresql hostings, just because they aren't that popular. This is where I think the problem is, demand. It's a lot to invest in setting up and configuring all the services you mentioned, and a gamble if you don't know/have idea if they will all be used. > > I would be most interested in Scottish answers and/or things built on > a Linux base (if only so I can sleep at night :-).
