  • Survey for WiMAX deployment
    • We would like to have a look at the roof of mountbatten.
• Routing check via Virtual Interaces
  • Interface is set up, but nagios need to be configured to perform pings over it.
• LDAP Authentication
  • To Migrate or not to migrate, that is the question

[15:37] crwilliams: right - Leth seems to have managed to get LDAP authentication on sown-dev working nicely now
[15:38] crwilliams: the question now is do we update our LDAP entries to reference our old uids
[15:38] crwilliams: or do we update our uids to match our ldap ones?

• • • Ok for login and sudo on Dev.
    • For other servers we would require fine granularity controls for them. Groups per-server rather than per permissions level.
    • Auth should definitely be a manual change, not LDAP based.
  • Config Check - Does anyone have more 'pam' experience and can check over /etc/pam.d/common-auth on dev?
    • No-one at meeting, try next week.
  • Any other services ought to use LDAP?
