Hi all, Where do you store your non-Rails-specific configuration info? For instance, I want to be able to login to LDAP as a particular admin user. I don''t want the u/p combo in any of the models...does it go in environment.rb? database.yml? Set a constant in a lib file? When you''ve got it in a good location, how do you access it? Thanks!

Our Linux platform is CentOS at this time (but I've been a DD and long time debianista). I'll go through both. How do

About the last question, I'll be reading up on samba-tool. Apologies. A better question is: can I run the DC without an attached DNS server? How little can I get away with running? In my imagination, I should be able to run just the LDAP+Kerberos parts, AIUI that's all I need, skipping DNS, fileserving, winbind, etc; blame this on my view of AD as a quirky LDAP. Again, scoped for my use
