yep. As someone else pointed out, /bin/pwd (instead of the builtin
pwd) also works.
While working my way through this, I started playing with the LDAP
interface to the sun ray data store and got the information this way:
Now *that's* really digging into private interfaces that
are subject to change, and work only under certain
circumstances.
May be, but as you've already pointed out every solution offered so
far could be broken by a future release, and the ldapsearch is an
order of magnitude faster than utdesktop -L -c (assuming I need the
srds location information, which is looking more and more like a bad
idea).
I presume in your case you are using registered desktops,
and logging in without smartcards?
Yes, for the most part. A handful of users do have smart cards.
This wouldn't work if you were using smartcards.
We use very few smart cards; they don't work out too well in our
environment, except for limited deployment (a few instructors and
myself).
And, if you didn't register
smartcards, it would be trivial because $SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN
would just be pseudo.00144f85ec2d in this first example.
There's a thought. I'm configured for self-registration just to keep
track of who's who and who's where, but if I'm basically going to
have to map everything back to a MAC address anyway, I may as well
turn it off.
