So my network is now nicely using LDAP for user authenticaion and groups. I recently discovered there is an LDAP schema for hosts as well. However it seems to have a flaw--there seems to be no provision for aliases.
I.e. where in /et/hosts I would have: 192.168.1.1 foo.isp.com www loghost foo my LDIF file has to look like this: dn: cn=foo.isp.com,ou=Hosts,dc=isp,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: ipHost cn: foo.isp.com ipHostNumber: 192.168.1.1 dn: cn=www,ou=Hosts,dc=isp,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: ipHost cn: www ipHostNumber: 192.168.1.1 dn: cn=loghost,ou=Hosts,dc=isp,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: ipHost cn: loghost ipHostNumber: 192.168.1.1 dn: cn=foo,ou=Hosts,dc=isp,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: ipHost cn: foo ipHostNumber: 192.168.1.1 Is that right? Although it works, it seems unecessarily verbose to me. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's a girl!
