[05:40] <Stonekeeper> hi. Has anyone ever configured nss/ldap to work with TLS?
[05:59] <lionelp> Stonekeeper: yes
[06:15] <Stonekeeper> did you edit /etc/ldap.conf ?
[06:15] <Stonekeeper> i tried all the settings in libnssblah.conf but it still refused to work
[06:15] <Stonekeeper> i only found ldap.conf after i asked the Q
[06:17] <lionelp> You have to alter three files if you want full TLS : /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, /etc/libnss-ldap.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf
[06:19] <Stonekeeper> hmmm... what do you do to pam_ldap.conf?
[06:20] <Stonekeeper> ah, ok
[06:20] <Stonekeeper> i see
[06:27] <Stonekeeper> thanks lionelp
[06:27] <Stonekeeper> have a good weekend
[07:15] <amee2k> hi all
[07:16] <amee2k> i'm on ubuntu server 6.06, vsftpd-2.0.4: i want have a system account and want to allow password-less FTP login for it. "passwd -d" removes the password from the account but then vsftpd denies login. how can i allow password-less login for an account in vsftpd?
[07:19] <uniq> hmm..
[07:24] <amee2k> yes?
[07:24] <uniq> i think you need proftpd or something more advanced to get that functionality.
[07:24] <amee2k> hm....
[07:26] <amee2k> when trying with passwd -d, it does not encrypt an empty string but just clears the password field in /etc/shadow. is there a way to have an empty string encrypted?
[07:31] <uniq> don't think you can encrypt nothing.
[07:32] <amee2k> :/
[07:34] <uniq> even if you can encrypt it i don't think vsftpd accepts blank passwords for local accounts.
[07:35] <uniq> I can get vsftpd to accept one space as a password.
[07:37] <amee2k> hm... sounds like i'm better off with proftpd then
[07:39] <A-Kaser> amee2k, you want on user or more ?
[07:40] <A-Kaser> because if you need just one user (login), you can use anonymous user
[07:41] <amee2k> no, more than one
[07:42] <A-Kaser> so why you don't use anonymous user ?
[07:42] <amee2k> because anonymous is just one user?
[07:44] <A-Kaser> oh sorry I don't read the "more"
[07:44] <A-Kaser> :)
[07:44] <amee2k> ^_^
[07:46] <A-Kaser> so each user can connect to the server
[07:46] <A-Kaser> without password
[07:46] <A-Kaser> but with a different user
[07:46] <A-Kaser> and they can access to the same directory or not ?
[07:48] <amee2k> they are all under /var/archive however they don't share the same home directory.
[07:49] <amee2k> for example /var/archive/repo/info /var/archive/repo/data /var/archive/repo/media /var/archive/sandbox ...
[07:53] <amee2k> i'd prefer a lightweight solution because my hardware is already on the "needs upgrade" list for some time
[07:56] <A-Kaser> ok ok
[09:50] <amee2k> what is the "information_schema" database in a fresh mysql server install good for?

[11:21] <NineTeen67Comet> Hello all. I've never used Gallery2 via letting the package manager install it. How do I tell the core web site where the code base lies when apt-get installs gallery2? (normally I untar it in my main sites directory, then tell all the other sites where the code base is).
