[07:02] <slackwarelife> Hi, some of you have used  PDC-Client-0.9 file ???
[07:03] <Burgundavia> ?
[07:03] <slackwarelife> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DomainAuthenticationUtility (the link of this files)
[07:04] <slackwarelife> section --> Client Configuration
[07:05] <slackwarelife> it does not works well
[07:05] <Burgundavia> that is ancient
[07:05] <Burgundavia> you want ajmitch's authtool
[07:06] <slackwarelife> authtool does not work well too
[07:07] <slackwarelife> the problem is how pam files are configured
[07:08] <slackwarelife> common-auth has a sufficient request directive about pam_unix.so after sufficient directive about pam_ldap.so
[07:09] <slackwarelife> sorry
[07:09] <slackwarelife> common-auth has a request directive about pam_unix.so after sufficient directive about pam_ldap.so
[07:10] <Burgundavia> you need unix, in case your ldap stuff fails
[07:10] <slackwarelife> but it block dbus daemon
[07:10] <slackwarelife> there is a discussion on dbus mail list
[07:10] <Burgundavia> ahh
[07:11] <Burgundavia> that would be a dbus bug
[07:11] <slackwarelife> about this problem
[07:11] <slackwarelife> but if you set sufficient all directive
[07:11] <slackwarelife> there is no problem
[07:11] <slackwarelife> I do it in my enterprise
[07:12] <slackwarelife> another problem is the gnome-screensaver block
[07:12] <slackwarelife> if you use the directive required
[07:12] <slackwarelife> when you block the screensever
[07:13] <slackwarelife> you are not able to sblock it
[07:13] <slackwarelife> I try
[07:14] <slackwarelife> I'm part of admins group of AD in bank
[07:15] <Burgundavia> ahh
[07:15] <slackwarelife> and we try to configure ubuntu like our windows machines
[07:15] <slackwarelife> but the are many differences
[07:16] <slackwarelife> first in windows we are able to select the domain in login phase
[07:16] <slackwarelife> we have 20 domain
[07:16] <slackwarelife> in ubuntu we must insert @domainname after userid
[07:17] <slackwarelife> this is not some easer for user
[07:20] <slackwarelife> second, in ubuntu don't work the pam_ldap remember option
[07:21] <slackwarelife> we need users don't be able to use the some password for 30/40
[07:21] <slackwarelife> I try some how-to, but the file /etc/security/opasswd does not change
[07:23] <slackwarelife> third. We need manager the password expiration by AD
[07:23] <slackwarelife> but in ubuntu we don't recive any message at the time
[07:24] <slackwarelife> in windows we recive the message about the axpiration
[07:28] <wasabi> Yes, i believe we know all about all of that.
[07:29] <slackwarelife> We need users are not able to disable the screensaver block (in bank when user is not using the pc we need the screen will block)
[07:29] <slackwarelife> wasabi: ok you know
[07:29] <wasabi> I have the same issues you do, for the most part.
[07:30] <wasabi> For disabling the screensaver at least, you can use various gconf mandatory settings to do it.
[07:30] <wasabi> disabling that disabling, that is.
[07:30] <slackwarelife> wasabi: ok
[07:32] <slackwarelife> but I don't want disable sreensaver, I want the user are not able to disable it
[07:32] <wasabi> I know. That's what I meant.
[07:32] <wasabi> You can use gconf mandatory settings to lock the option to enabled.
[07:34] <slackwarelife> ok i see /etc/gconf dir right ???
[07:36] <slackwarelife> other problems we found when we try to change the passowrd using gnome-about-me
[07:36] <wasabi> station-1:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory
[07:36] <wasabi> i'm not sure how you edit that actually
[07:38] <slackwarelife> ok. I see the file. I see tre structure. I try.                        We are not able to change passowrd for local and ldap. We are able to change only for local or only for LDAP
[07:39] <slackwarelife> my pam file are the same using in suse/novell client
[07:40] <slackwarelife> this configuration solve many problem about dbus and gnome-screensaver
[07:40] <wasabi> file a bug? :0
[07:40] <slackwarelife> ?
[07:41] <wasabi> Problems that you have, you should file bugs.
[07:42] <slackwarelife> I don't thinj, the novell documentation has many lines about this
[07:42] <slackwarelife> thinj --> think
[07:42] <slackwarelife> I read in this how-to about the dbus problem
[07:43] <slackwarelife> and in dbus mail list
[07:44] <slackwarelife> i have recived a precision istruction in how I can change the dbus file config to use the pam file i optain using authtool
[07:46] <slackwarelife> the problem is /var/run/console/your_user file
[07:47] <slackwarelife> if you use the pam file make from authtool, this file is not make in phase of login, so dbus and hal stop.
[08:20] (slackwarelife/#ubuntu-directory) Do you want to know other problems ???
[09:16] <slackwarelife> wasabi: have you done some other tests
[09:20] <wasabi> such as?
[09:21] <wasabi> Ubuntu just doesn't have that great of level of directory support yet.
