RE: [Wlug] FW: MN-130?

by Jerome Walczak

The kernel I have installed is 2.4 --- I'm currently downloading version 3 off the site & expect everything to be ready to burn in about, oh 3 hours or so. We'll see if it works. Or ... Is there any way to install a new kernel in Fedora 1? Forgive me if I'm not saying that right but that's what I think is possible? -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Jared Greenwald Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 11:23 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] FW: MN-130?

FW: MN-130?

by Jerome Walczak

OK here we go - I'm a Linux newbie &'ve used Mandrake in the past occasionally but that's about it. I've installed Fedora 1 on an old computer at work but it has an MN-130 network card & the system isn't recognizing that it's there. According to a couple articles I've checked I need to edit the Tulip driver (tulip_core.c) & add a line of code at line 201. I did this and then checked the dependencies & typed modules_install & restarted the system & STILL the network card didn't show up. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have any advice to get me out of this frustration? I'm very close to swapping out the card for another one that's more likely to work but I'd like to avoid that if possible ...

Re: [Wlug] ldifde for linux?

I want to keep windows and linux accounts seperate(as far as authentication) but keep the same password. I have a solution now which produces the ldf files on linux Since this will include passwords being transfered, it MUST be secure ldap.

Why not just use ldap as your login authentication on linux? It can work similarly to nis.

ldifde for linux?

by Justin Odom

Figured I'd throw this out there. I am working on a project that requires me to push .ldf files from a linux server to a window 2003 server. Basically creating the same accounts on the linux system onto the windows system. Does anyone know of linux program that is equivalent of the windows "ldifde" program? It needs to be able to create a secure connection with ldaps. Thanks in advance, -- Justin Odom
