[tech] manbo, ldap, stuff

[James Andrewartha]

So I've been playing around with the Sun LDAP server on the E250, and I 
think I know how to properly install and configure it. So I propose to 
install it on manbo and have a shot at converting all of our 
authentication to LDAP.

As a precursor to this, I want to upgrade manbo to the latest Solaris 
Express, move /opt to a separate volume, and attatch the A1000. The last 
will require getting a HVD terminator from somewhere. I'm thinking Sunday 
will be a good day to get the upgrade and /opt move done, the E250 can 
easily be set up as a netinstall server so the upgrade should proceed 
fairly quickly.

For LDAP, http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-March/101579.html 
looks useful, and we can sit around and work out what other issues there 
might be while manbo's upgrading.
