I've gotten FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE running on admin. I'll start doing LDAP testing over break.
I got my Sparcstation 5 (demeter.admin.cs.earlham.edu) up into a fairly usable state just now. I was having difficulty getting an IP via DHCP from admin but I was finally able to ping my box. I don't really know what was up with admin, because I thought I had edited the DNS and DHCP configs correctly, and restarted them correctly, according to the FreeBSD manual.
I don't really know what demeter's purpose will be, but I would really like to play around with it since it is basically my first non-x86 system. I can already see problems arising with having to keep swapping the keyboard and monitor back and forth from millie. I know that when you did this, Skylar, you had to restart millie, and I had to as well. admin also got restarted because I think the power cable was loose.
A sun KVM switch would be awesome.
In the meantime, I might put demeter next to millie and then put admin's monitor on top of it. I think that'd be a perfect fit.
I've now started dumps from quarkprime, backup, and image to admin's 60GB IDE drive.
I've put the 60GB drive from backup in admin. We can use it to backup less important machines, like image and quarkprime.
I worked with Dawit on installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 on his machine, dawit.admin.cs.earlham.edu.
So far we have configured the following services:
1. X
2. NIS
3. NFS
4. DHCP client
5. sshd
I have enabled SSL on bagend, giving encrypted access to Nagios.
I had to setup a virtual host in ssl.conf, and generate new SSL keys to reflect the actual DNS name of the machine.
I installed some of the packages into the old acl.I also have nfs, nis,ssh and apache working on it.
I was working with Skylar on instlling FreeBSD on aclprime.We went through configuration and network stuff.
We worked on nfs,nis, dhcp,ports,rc.conf
