So following up on Part 1, we actually know a little bit more about LDAP now, but in this post, we will include an Automounted home directory. Before we delve into the notes, I just want to cover some essentials. In LDAP vernacular, A schema is a collection of object classes and attributes that define your entry. In Posix standard, a user account entry must have certain characteristics such as a shell, uid, gid,.. In this case, the attribute “shell -> /bin/bash” will be provided by the “objectclass: posixAccount”, ,while the attribute “userPassword: -> xxxxx” will be stored in the objectclass shadowAccount. This can be applicable to any entries you want to store in your directory, such as People, hosts, groups, netgroups, printers, etc. These are usually stored in a hierachical form of . See Getting Started for more details.
1.) So we are going to setup a directory server and add a user account.

Its been a while since I last updated this, many things have come to pass, I left the Department of Info. Tech. & Telecom. in June 06, and now work for the Investment Technology Group, UNIX Engineering team for about 7 months. ITG is a specialized brokerage leader in Algorithm Trading, Transaction cost analysis and a range of other services that span the entire trading process. Its a medium sized company with over 1000 employees globally. I must say that thus far, I am impressed with the environment and company’s policies, (lots of perks). I have been working 2nd shift, which works well with school and hopefully, it will augment my bachelor degree conquest. so.. lets see, what else happened since my last blog, .. I got married. My (then) girlfriend, Chiaki, and i have been together for 6+ years, and now, we are officially a unit, once school is under my belt then kids are next.. and on another plate, I am now wrapping up on Fall 07 school session… by the end of this year, this will be 2 more classes (JPN 1002 + STAT 2000 = 6 credits) completed. so I have about another 60+ credits to go making me a lower junior.
That sums up my catch up session, hopefully, I will have time to update this diary more often. Also, look out for my follow up to the LDAP article soon.
