LDAP info
Install libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap. Base dn is 'dc=debconf,dc=debian,dc=org' and LDAP host is 10.0.1.1. LDAP version 3 and password method should be 'exop'. Edit /etc/pam.d/common-auth to look like this: auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass Edit /etc/pam.d/common-password to look like this: password sufficient pam_ldap.so password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5 Edit /etc/pam_ldap.conf, make sure this line at the end: ssl start_tls Last, make sure /etc/nsswitch.conf contain these lines instead of the 'compat' lines: passwd: ldap files group: ldap files shadow: ldap files This should be enough to get LDAP user directory working.
Local upload queue.
On srv1 there is an anonymous ftp server. in /queue/ of the anon login is an upload queue Upload to there if you can (since that will serialise uploads to ftpmaster and thus be a little less antisocial for everyone else. If you use dput... [srv1] fqdn = srv1 incoming = /queue/ login = anonymous In your .dput.cf will work to provide dput srv1 <foo>.changes If you use dupload... $cfg{'debconf4'} = { fqdn => "srv1", incoming => "/queue/", # files pass on to dinstall on ftp-master which sends emails itself dinstall_runs => 1, };
