I wrote a script which will allow to perform a fully Unattended installation (i.e., without having to specify the workstation name), and which shares the LDAP database used by Samba.
For example, it could be used if we want our workstations be called pc001, pc002, pc003 etc., and to associate the names with MAC addresses. If the machine is reinstalled, it keeps the old name. If a new machine is installed (with no MAC in the database), the script will lookup the first workstation name available (i.e., if we have pc001, pc002, pc003, it will pick pc004). It is a bash script, and because I'm no perl expert, I don't know how can I integrate it with Unattended. I guess I have to play with site/config.pl file, but I don't really know where to start. Of course, I'll gladly contribute it once it works with unattended :) Can anyone help me integrate it with unattended? Let's assume that: - the output of the script is "guessed-name005" (and exit status 0) in case it guessed the name correctly, - it exits with the status 1 if there was an error (couldn't connect to LDAP etc.). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
