Hello, I was wondering what the best way to setup multi-master replication was when multiple suffixes exist on each supplier. Should we first setup each supplier with the same root suffix in the userRoot DB, then setup replication. Then create the 2nd suffix in a separare database and setup replication for this suffix ... I''m currently trying to use the mmr script to setup replication without succes. I have 2 Fedora DS servers running each with a different suffix in their userRoot and would like to setup replication te each other. Thanks in advance, Jo

[Fedora-directory-users] Need Pointers For Migrating To FDS from NIS
Hello All; My current environment is using NIS (not NIS+) on Sparc Solaris 8/10 and x86 Linux, with a separate AD structure. My goal is to migrate my Solaris and Linux machines onto the AD structure for user, group, hosts, networks and netgroups map use (perhaps other maps later). My questions are: 1. Am I correct in believing that Fedora Dir Server is able to allow me to auth to my AD DC''s? Or does FDS only perform as a conduit to the AD structure, either fine by me. 2. What and where do I change to aloow this on my pam.conf on my Solaris and Linux servers? 3. Where do I get the PAM modules to allow this to work? 4. What additional software must I run on my RH/FC FDS server? Should I, or can I, run two servers in case one fails? 5. Finally, does anyone have any written docs or a site that can help me? Thanks very much in advance, .vadim

Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Need Pointers For Migrating To FDS from NIS
Vadim, This is a pretty big topic. Gary Tay has put together some docs that are a great starting point: http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/ Sun''s docs regarding Solaris clients will also be useful for you: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556 One other thing:> My goal is to migrate my Solaris and Linux machines onto the AD > structure for user, group, hosts, networks and netgroups map use > (perhaps other maps later).If you mean that you will be using AD as your directory server, you won''t necessarily need to run a separate directory server like FDS. Good luck! Vadim Pushkin wrote:> Hello All; > > My current environment is using NIS (not NIS+) on Sparc Solaris 8/10 > and x86 Linux, with a separate AD structure.

Hello George; Thank you for the reply. May I ask how then may I auth users and use a Windows DC for AD? .vp>From: "George Holbert" <gholbert@broadcom.com> >Reply-To: "General discussion list for the Fedora Directory server >project." <fedora-directory-users@redhat.com>>Vadim, >This is a pretty big topic. >Gary Tay has put together some docs that are a great starting point: >http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/ > >Sun''s docs regarding Solaris clients will also be useful for you: >http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556 > >One other thing: > >>My goal is to migrate my Solaris and Linux machines onto the AD structure >>for user, group, hosts, networks and netgroups map use (perhaps other maps >>later). > >If you mean that you will be using AD as your directory server, you won''t >necessarily need to run a separate directory server like FDS. > >Good luck! > > >Vadim Pushkin wrote: >>Hello All; >> >>My current environment is using NIS (not NIS+) on Sparc Solaris 8/10 and >>x86 Linux, with a separate AD structure.

[Fedora-directory-users] Need Help Migrating From NIS To FDS/AD
Hello Again All; I am still without migrating from an NIS environment to AD/FDS for all of my machines, Windows as well as Sparc/Solaris 8-10 and Linux machines. Back in October I started a thread that seemed to have gone nowhere and would like to restart this thread. It is my understanding that I must use FDS to serve as the middleware for auth and perms between my UNIX machines and my AD servers, I have four of them. I merely wish to have my Solaris and Linux machines use the credentials on the AD environment versus what I am doing now, YP/NIS. Has someone done this sucessfully? If so, may I ask if you found a doc anywhere describing this? Thank you, /vp>From: "George Holbert" <gholbert@broadcom.com> > >Vadim, >This is a pretty big topic. >Gary Tay has put together some docs that are a great starting point: >http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/ > >Sun''s docs regarding Solaris clients will also be useful for you: >http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556 > >One other thing: > >>My goal is to migrate my Solaris and Linux machines onto the AD structure >>for user, group, hosts, networks and netgroups map use (perhaps other maps >>later). > >If you mean that you will be using AD as your directory server, you won''t >necessarily need to run a separate directory server like FDS. > >Good luck! > > >Vadim Pushkin wrote: >>Hello All; >> >>My current environment is using NIS (not NIS+) on Sparc Solaris 8/10 and >>x86 Linux, with a separate AD structure.
