Thank you for the useful reply. It appears that they just pasted a new name on an old horse. It's still LDAP. I'll follow the directions there. At least the directions say they are for CentOS 8.1+ I'll let you know what happens. I hope I don't end up having to reinstall to fix the mess this makes. -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

This is going to take a semester of Computer Science to figure out. dscreate create-template creates a 9K file full of mostly obscure and unintelligible options. This where the hand holding I told you about comes into play. This is what I've got so far: config_version = 2 defaults = 999999999 The next option is full_machine_name which defaults to localhost.localdomain I need to give this machine a name other than localhost.localdomain. I guess that's my next bit of search engine exercise to learn how to do that without making a giant mess. I remember trying to do this with the last attempt at LDAP a year ago. It wasn't pretty and didn't turn out well. I guess that's my next step for tomorrow. I've got to go to bed if I'm going to be able to stay awake long enough to write any code at work tomorrow. -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****
