Rob, Thank you for your response. One of my filters on gmail was blocking the approval responses, I should have known it was user error ;-). I'm all set on the subscription. Also, thanks for the tip on searching google that way, I'll investigate questions that way.
Regarding root user, that was what I was thinking. So that kind of takes away the ability to centrally manage the root password for 100's of systems via IPA correct? Or is there a way to do that? thanks, Herb On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 11:22 AM, Rob Crittenden <[email protected]>wrote: > Herb Burnswell wrote: > >> All, >> >> I am beginning to put an IPA environment together and will be inquiring >> with the community on different issues. >> >> First, regarding this list, I do not see a way to search archived posts >> for answers.
