Just run migrate_group.pl script on /etc/group on a representative machine, that'll produce an LDIF you can import into your FDS. Verify that the dn is correct and load it in. It puts all posix groups into an ou=Groups, which I found convenient. Next Message by Date: click to view message previewfds and oracle authenticationWere running fds in our environment; it's running great, however I was wondering if it's possible to use the directory servers to authenticate Oracle database users against? I know that Oracle has an application called Oracle Internet Directory server, however I would rather not put up yet another directory server. Any thoughts? Thanks very much.

As the number of users grows, that becomes a PITA. I've struggled with this issue, researching the rationale behind it, but I'm not any wiser. Would anyone care to comment on the "every user has a group" issue? -- Oscar A. Valdez Loading Comments...
