Exim4-LDAP 0.0.5 initial released

Submitted by hswong3i on Mon, 2009-08-17 12:35
Exim4-LDAP is my latest development progress. It is a Debian package that depends on exim4-heavy-daemon and slapd, which utilize Qmail-LDAP schema as backend database schema for seamless migration. Unlink Qmail-LDAP which required for manual source patching and compile, Exim4-LDAP just define additional authentication/router/transfer rules within configuration files. The ultimate goal of this research project is going to integrate with Samba-LDAP-PAM (for both Windows/Linux Single-Sign-On), RADIUS (for other services SSO) and even other services such as webmail. The project is now hosting in SourceForge.net with .deb available, download now. Here I will draft some simple installation guideline which not yet included in source package document. I am now testing this with a newly installed Debian Lenny sandbox.

I am going to share some user account & directory with NFS among 2~3 servers. Traditionally we can use NFS+NIS solution, but I would like to try out NFS+LDAP+PAM/NSS plus OpenLDAP mirror mode replication.
For LDAP + PAM/NSS, please refer to my other article: LDAP + Samba PDC + PAM/NSS on Debian Lenny HOWTO

I just figure out that 3ware had a new release of firmware and tools for my 9650SE RAID controller. BTW, as Debian unofficial APT is now legacy without update, I search for package original author webiste: http://jonas.genannt.name/ P.S. According to release note, need to upgrade driver and software BEFORE (prior) upgrade the firmware:

HGC ask PCCW for technical support, and so they change the connection between my flat (block 2) to server room (block 4). As HGC providing services with VDSL and rent the LAST telecoms connection from PCCW, so HGC can't solve the problem alone. Anyway, the disconnect problem is now improved.

I guess the problem should due to the status of my flat: the building itself is already 10+ years old, where I am the FIRST one who buy and use this flat. So the telecoms connections didn't been use for around 10 years, it should then decayed.

Well... My Linksys W310N with DD-WRT keep on redial... I guess it should be the problem of HGC broadband connection because its "reday" LED is keep on on-and-off... Already ask for technical support PER MONTH but still not able to solve the problem...
