Hi again,<br>
<br>
I've been using Red Hat and Fedora for almost 9 years now (just last
month I decommissioned my oldest RH7.2 server). I've had LDAP servers
working with FC5 and haven't had a problem. I'm a RH Technician and am
hoping to gain Engineer qualifications next month, so I feel familiar
with Fedora and RH products.<br>
<br>
In December I built a new server for my home network based on Fedora 8
and decided to use Fedora Directory Services as well. Perhaps the
fresh install contributed to my jaundiced view of FDS, because I had
more problems than I expected getting my new server working the way I
wanted (Postfix/Cyrus issue predominately).<br>
<br>
Anyway, when I got to FDS it would be fair to say I was annoyed with
F8. I even downloaded Ubuntu and almost got to the point of burning a
DVD to see if it might be easier than F8. In this frame of mind I
wasn't able to cope well with the frustration of trying to get FDS 1.1
working, using the documentation from the FDS website. I found it
particularly unhelpful with respect to FDS 1.1 and F8. I found stacks
of information about FC6 and 1.0.4, but had real trouble finding useful
doco about F8 and FDS 1.1. The confusion about what was in and out of
the release, the packaging changes, and having problems accessing the
console just made be p---ed off. I also had trouble finding where the
yum updates were, which was my fault for not reading properly the doco
that was useful.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'm back on track now and will persevere until I get it
working. Yours and other posts to this forum have helped me to see how
other users are working with FDS, and I am confident I'll have an
operational server fairly soon. Now that I have console access, it all
seems much easier...<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Please try adding the -D 9 arguments to the end of the command line.
This will cause lots of debugging information to spew forth.

Most (if not all) of the developers have been on vacation from December
21 until now.

Can you be more specific?

<blockquote type="cite">Thanks again for the info. I got that
fixed. I changed the set java variable removing the rem in the bat
file. But now its is not connecting to my ds server. it connects from
the local machine though. I am running the ds server on fedora 6 which
on vmware virtual machine. I am using the ip address of the machine
along with admin port to connect from windows host machine.
<br>
I was wondering if you ever have got it running successfully?
<br>
<br>
Thank you.
