Hi thanks for the HowTo. We can integrate NFS Home for my Leopard Clients. Thanks for one request.

Thanks for the facinating article.

On the server side, there is a LDAP/Kerberos integration project called freeIPA which has actual LDAP management tools rather than raw LDIF files. It’s just released but looks very nice.

It even has documentation on configuring Mac OS 10.4 clients already, though this article goes into more depth.

Integrating mobile users into a LDAP / Kerberos system is still an open problem on Fedora. I have some notes available at http://www.flyn.org/laptopldap/laptopldap.html, but there does not yet seem to be a complete solution.

Your article is great, but I tried to cache user account information for mobile users, and I Have not found any information about that. Do you know how make that?

G.,

If the “getent passwd” command fails, then NSS LDAP is probably not configured correctly.

What happens when you run “ldapsearch -x” on the LDAP server? You should see the contents of your LDAP database. This indicates that your OpenLDAP server and clients are configured right.

Now, /etc/ldap.conf configures the NSS LDAP package. Are you sure you created this file properly?

Hi, this is a very interisting article! I’ve tried to set this up using centos 5.1, but can’t ses the user created by calling “getent passwd”. The output hangs at this point. Any ideas? May I go on setting up teh os x client stuff? Thanks for a hint!

Great HowTo for OS X Tiger. Work excelllent with my opensuse 10.3 LDAP, NFS Server and Samba for Windows Clients. How can NFS Home Mounts solve with OSX Leopard? Thanks for your Request.

Great article!
Neat mini-howto to ldap and Kerberos beyond the mac stuff.
Is there any similar solution available for XP/Win2k clients?
Mainly interested in centralizing account management. Samba can do the rest.
Thanks.
