[Fedora-directory-devel] Re: autotools and summer of code
by Ahmed H. EL Zein
Hello FDS developers,
I have been trying to install FDS on my Debian box and both the
Debian&Ububtu howto and the dsbuild tool are proving quite a headache! I
would have liked to do a ./configure, setting up prefixes to suit me but
I understand that is not easy right now!
I found these links:
http://code.google.com/soc-results.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fds-build/
and I wanted to ask what is the status of the move to an autotools build
system! did the the work done by Adrian Bunk find its way into the
source tree? if not what was wrong with his method and what would be
more suitable if someone wanted to have a go at it!

Somewhere around here I wrote the corresponding SLAPI (smbk5pwd) plugin
for one of our clients a few years back. At the time there wasn't any
open source project to contribute it to, will have to see if I can dig
it up. It was only tested with SunOne but I expect it will work here.

[Fedora-directory-devel] userPassword/sambaNTPassword synchronization
by Jonathan Barber
Hi,
I'm currently looking at using FDS as a backend for Samba 3. The
issue I have is with sync'ing of the userpassword, sambaNTPassword, and
sambaLMPassword attributes, so that each of our user's accounts have
consistant password for each attribute.
Samba can be configured to change all three of these attributes when
it recieves a password change request (the "ldap passwd sync"
directive), but when the passwords are changed outwith samba (FDS
console, ldappasswd, etc.), the passwords lose sync. It therefore seems
sensible to write a FDS plugin to intercept password modification
attempts, and for the plugin to create all of the required hashes.
Before starting, I thought it'd be sensible to see if:
1) It was a good idea, or is there something blindingly obvious I've
missed which means it won't work.
2) Is there any ongoing work in this area that I can contribute to
rather than rolling my own.
WRT 2) I've seen the openldap smbk5pwd overlay, which does what I want,
but appears to be openldap specific.
Any comments?
Cheers.
