[02:04] <jeffrash> anyone around?
[02:04] <holstein> jeffrash: o/
[02:04] <jeffrash> I have a quick question
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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?
[02:08] <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?
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <holstein> check out these guys too
[02:10] <holstein> http://www.turnkeylinux.org/
[02:10] <holstein> ^ very educational live setups
[02:10] <holstein> small too
[02:11] <holstein> i havnet had a reason to learn about LDAP yet
[02:12] <jeffrash> ok, thanks
[02:12] <jeffrash> bed time, I have to work tonight
[02:12] <holstein> jeffrash: laterx :)
[02:13] <holstein> jeffrash: if you can catch internalkernel sometime
[02:13] <holstein> he's one of my go-to server guys :)
[02:15] <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] <internalkernel> Im working too ;)
