| holstein | jeffrash: o/ | 02:04 |
| jeffrash | I have a quick question | 02:04 |
| jeffrash | and I know it's going to sound stupid | 02:05 |
| holstein | lol | 02:05 |
| jeffrash | As you may be aware, I'm from the Windows Server side of the force | 02:05 |
| jeffrash | but joined the linux side back with ubuntu 6.06 | 02:05 |
| jeffrash | I've mostly been focused on the linux desktop | 02:06 |
| jeffrash | so, here's the question | 02:06 |
| holstein | thats too bad | 02:06 |
| holstein | the server is really where things almost always work | 02:06 |
| holstein | and work great | 02:06 |
| holstein | desktop linux can still be a challenge | 02:07 |
| holstein | anyways, whats up? | 02:07 |
| jeffrash | is LDAP what's used for central user management is Linux? | 02:07 |
| jeffrash | like Active Directory is now for Windows | 02:08 |
| holstein | hmmm | 02:08 |
| holstein | i think thats up to you | 02:08 |
| jeffrash | what are the options? | 02:08 |
| holstein | check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication | 02:09 |
| holstein | jeffrash: i run a server here at the house | 02:09 |
| holstein | but, its just a little personal thing | 02:09 |
| holstein | mostly as a learning project | 02:09 |
| jeffrash | right, that's my plan too | 02:09 |

| holstein | jeffrash: if you can catch internalkernel sometime | 02:13 |

| internalkernel | jeffrash: I dont think you could pin point one authentication mechanism as "the way" for linux - like you can with linux | 02:15 |
| internalkernel | sorry I meant with windows... | 02:15 |
