joerlendmdke, seems to be a regression in one of the packages used in that guide. Anyway, the bug I was talking about had already been reported as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auth-client-config/+bug/29500814:17

LaserJockany yelp experts around?22:02
joerlendrm -Rf help.ubuntu.com22:45
joerlend_none_ of the LDAP-related helpfiles there works. They're all wrong. It's terribly frustrating.22:46
LaserJockjoerlend: it's a wiki so if you're able to fix them then go for it22:48
joerlendgive me access, and I'll help by issuing the beforementioned command.22:49
joerlendbut seriously, I don't think I'd be of any help. I'm reading the helpfiles for a reason.22:49
LaserJockjoerlend: unfortunately that's a common problem22:50
joerlendyes, but someone wrote thiese.22:52
LaserJocksure, and it worked for them22:52
LaserJockI've struggled myself with the LDAP stuff22:53
LaserJockI'm not sure how old some of that LDAP stuff is, perhaps it's just outdated, or is to dependent on a particular setup22:54
joerlendright. It seems every release changes configuration options, file names and stuff for everything.22:54
joerlendfollowing the guide for gutsy, my hardy setup was trashed completely so that I couldn't use sudo.22:56
LaserJockyikes, that shouldn't happen22:59
joerlendright, but that's the type of thing that happens when help documents only tell you _what_ to do and never why.23:07
joerlendseems to have changed alot between 8.04 and 8.04.1 if I should listen to all the different guides for 8.04.23:09
