Package: gforge-ldap-openldap Version: 3.1-26 Severity: wishlist Ok, this could take a bit to describe, here - "FYI", heh.
* Scope: This might require some adaptation of GForge, to be implemented. * Pertains to appliations: - GForge - Debconf - SSH - OpenLDAP * Summary : ** Introduction Each GFOrge 'user' and GForge 'group' may exist, in essence, as being a user/group for the entire host. (This bears some pertinence about SE Linux, LSM, RBAC, MLS, but "that's off-topic".) ** Admin's Part Well, the system administrator has to ensure a well-working information system, across each host and the entire network. Some careful, perhaps "cusotm" structuring of filesystem directories does serve to help for such, truly. ** Debconf Debconf is suitable as a general basis for package configuration -- I'm not surprised if Redhat hasn't noticed that, though, given that it's "a matter of Debian policy & Debian design". Debconf, conceivably, can be "worked further into GForge", and worked-in, as a sort of "data source" for "configuration data" (e.g.: for configuration data that would be applied upon the simple-enough tempates, which exist within the GForge codebase) ** The GForge-instance User Database - is LDAP - contains an RDN : ou=People , the "subtrees" of which may contain an ldap atribute: homeDirectory That directory has an apparent base: /var/lib/gforge/chroot/home/users/ That directory/value is configurable. ** The GForge-instance Group Database - is, in much, in LDAP - (such that I can notice, yet) doesn't seem to contain an attribute analagous to the homeDirectory of a user object - could be adapted, along with the LDAP schema that is being used to make the deb* LDAP object classes - has a base directory : /var/lib/gforge/chroot/home/groups/ That base directory, furthemore, is configurable. E.g.: Configuration for : - "stuff under /home/ - site-wide user/group database incorporated with GForge, probably with NSS-LDAP: e.g. Projects Base Directory: /home/projects/ e.g. Users Base Directory: /home/users/ ....simple enough, heh - "promptly", thus ends the feature request - * Tangential Considerations : "Kindly, FYI" ** The LDAP Schema being used with Debian & GForge ...isn't known by many folks, "I have a hunch." - is worth "mentioning to LDAP folks" - pertains to OpenLDAP - isn't my project, heh ** Debian & Ubuntu & GForge ? - Ubuntu is : -- both a "pretty" and "pretty-much updated" (presumably) Linux distro, //based on Debian// -- a commmunity project -- @ http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ -- such that seems to have been done, firstly, on the part of Canonical Ltd. [ http://canonical.com ] - FYI FYI also: Canonical uses Bazaar, which is based on/after Tom Lord's Arch [TLA]; TLA/Fai/Arch/Bazaar "category" repositories can be mirrored ("bidirectionally") into CVS repositories. So, that's some open-projects & long-term-project-related FYI, after the feature request - kindly, in all, intended.
