Also - the "printer friendly" version cuts off in the middle of words. This wouldn’t be specific to this article, however. Hopefully this comment will only post once. :D]]>RYANWed, 14 May 2008 12:00:57 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/ldap/integrate-active-directory-and-openldap#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/ldap/integrate-active-directory-and-openldap#commentsAnchorWed, 14 May 2008 11:50:40 GMT
I loved the subject of this article. We’re currently going through an auditing process and integration of our LINUX accounts with AD would go along way in streamlining the way we demonstrate compliance. I would love to see more articles like this that integrate Windows with other OS’s. With that in mind the name of this magazine is "WINDOWS IT Pro". While I’d like to think I can navigate a ’nix system pretty well your article leaves a lot of gaps in the low-level processes. Navigation of the web site for the CentOS rpm alone yields several pages of possible downloads with seemingly few distinctions made between them. The sidebars too could be bolstered with details like instructions for downloading the file and transferring it to the unix system (i.e. with an smb mountpoint) and flags for installing the rpm packages (rpm -i filename.rpm). Perhaps I represent the minority, but I’m reading this from a WINDOWS administrator perspective. I realize that simple Linux navigation (like the necessity of "su" ’ing after initial login) is arguably too detailed for inclusion, but the article left a lot of details to be desired. I suppose the argument could be made that if one doesn’t know how to log into a Linux system one shouldn’t be integrating it with one’s enterprise directory. However at a minimum any article proposing this integration should probably narrow down the field of possible downloads available out on (http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/) for fear of endorsing the wrong one. Thanks for a great article, but please don’t spare us the details.]]>RYANWed, 14 May 2008 11:50:40 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/ldap/integrate-active-directory-and-openldap#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/ldap/integrate-active-directory-and-openldap#commentsAnchorWed, 14 May 2008 11:50:37 GMT

Great article. I’m learning more about the LINUX command line interface these days because of the RedHat 7.2 Service Console for VMware ESX Server that is hosting my Windows Virtual Machines. I like the comparisson of the Windows tools to the equivalent Linux tools. I look forward to more articles like this although I know this isn’t a LINUX IT PRO Magazine. ;) Thanks again...]]>GRAHAMThu, 11 Nov 2004 08:59:40 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/a-linux-primer-for-windows-administrators#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/a-linux-primer-for-windows-administrators#commentsAnchorMon, 01 Nov 2004 20:56:07 GMT
Thanks for the compliment. You are correct that RPM is not the only standard, but it is indeed the most used standard. As far as ease-of-use, RPM does fall short of other methods used by Debian or Gentoo’s Portage (or, indeed, of BSD’s ports). With the right add-on tools RPM can emulate the same functionality. As far as caring about standards, well, a lot of people do. :) - Dustin ]]>DUSTINMon, 01 Nov 2004 20:56:07 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/a-linux-primer-for-windows-administrators#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/a-linux-primer-for-windows-administrators#commentsAnchorFri, 29 Oct 2004 16:13:35 GMT
Great article! But as a Linux enthusiast, I have to take offense at the comment that RPMs are “the closest thing to a true package stand” in the Linux world. You didn’t even mention Debian’s apt or Gentoo’s emerge. Both of these systems have revolutionized the way Linux users get software. You simply type in the package name and the software takes care of downloading and installing not only the package you requested, but any dependencies packages as well. Try that with Red Hat OR Windows. Think of it like an Add/Remove Programs with every piece of software in the world on the available list. And both these distros seem to have every package I want available, so who cares about a standard. If you do though, Debian’s Alien package will convert .rpm’s to .deb’s.]]>Anonymous User Fri, 29 Oct 2004 16:13:35 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/a-linux-primer-for-windows-administrators#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/learning-samba-for-file-sharing#commentsAnchorThu, 19 Jul 2001 07:54:32 GMT
Actually, Samba uses four types of authentication, not two. Those are USER, SHARE, SERVER, and DOMAIN.]]>Sean Irish Thu, 19 Jul 2001 07:54:32 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/learning-samba-for-file-sharing#commentsAnchor
