Tech Stuff - HOWTOs
The beginning of a series of HOWTOs. There are many out there - we are grateful for them - they all add bits to our knowledge. The problem we find too often is that we need to look at three of four - each written from a slightly different perspective, starting with a slightly different knowledge base or with a different requirement to get the answer to our problem. Since we are fundamentally lazy - we tried to bring it all together. Our goal. Never to cover the ground again. Ever.
| Samba3.x + LDAP |
As part of a migration toward a Single-Sign-on (SSO) configuration we just rolled our mixed Windows, Linux, FreeBSD network to a Samba Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and retired a hoary old NT4.0 Server. Our actual configuration uses FreeBSD 4.10 (which brings some limitations) but we have tried to generalise to cover the Linux systems we use as well. |
| Secure Perimeter |
We moved to a FreeBSD 5.x based configuration for all our - local and remote - firewall + NAT + DNS + DHCP requirements. This is how we configure it. |
| NT Lan Manager |
Less of a howto - more a collection of stuff as we discovered more about NTLM - pretty long in the tooth. Last updated around 2007'ish. |
