Post subject:  LDAP server
Hi all,

I'm wanting some sort of naming service for my home network, DNS is too basic and I'm not sure how long YP(NIS) and NIS+ are going to be around for (and how long people like Apple will support them for), so I have chosen to use LDAP based on functionality and also for the experience...

Where do I start? I've got a litte experience with setting up YP clients with master and replicate server, I've got day-to-day knowledge of NIS+ usage, but no experience with LDAP. I'm installing it on OpenSolaris and will be using it to authenticate users on an OpenSolaris laptop, a MacBook and various VM's (probably Linux based), it will also be a host lookup too, to save me copying the /etc/hosts file around the systems when something is added or changed...

Has anyone got experience? Or a simple guide to getting it up and running?

Many thanks,
Ben

No....I've ordered a book from Amazon, my order got rejected because someone hacked into the sellers account, I've re-ordered the book, so will be looking at it again in a couple of weeks time I think...

Someone must be looking out for me, my second order arrived ten days early :shock: :shock: :shock:
I've only managed to read half the intro so far because work is busy. The purple one is off on holiday on Wednesday, so no chatting to her in the evenings :cry: LDAP will have to keep me company...
