Dear Dave and Rubin,
I really need to get the LDAP path going at HUMCTC. If either of you have
some time to impart wisdom in this area, I would like to make the HUMCTC
facility available for an LDAP demo/seminar as part of the regular
schedule of VAGUE meetings, one of which should be coming up.
Would either of you know how we could set this up? I will be happy to
burn time and materials in support of stalking the mysterious and fleet
footed LDAP...
Our first step is to establish the date. When would you think best Josh?
Regards,
Paul

Hi BJ,
I had a student in one of my Linux classes at CCV exactly what you describe
with LDPA and SAMBA. I'll forward your email to him and ask him to get in touch
with you. he was a Windows jock before he took my Linux classes and wanted to
prove to himeself that he could accomplish everything he needed just as well
with LDAP and Active Directory.. He took SAMBA well beyond my understanding.

I am soon going to need to either replace my Windows 2003 active directory with
2008 server or find another solution. I would prefer to use a linux server for
authentication but I will need the same configuration features.
I have been looking for a good guide to setting up Ubuntu server or CentOS as
an alternative to Active Directory, but have not found one yet.
The features I want to see.
1. works with Windows clients.
2. Network Home folders (does not neessisarly need to hold profile information)
3. Logon scripts for clients.
4. shared printers
5. shared folders.
6. can log linux boxes in with the same credentials and logon scripts.
