Re: [Fedora-directory-users] New filesystem layout for directory server and admin server files

However, as a very large user of this software, I am strongly against this idea. One of the biggest strengths of this software is that it is completely self-contained, which allows much simpler troubleshooting, research and development of administration tools, and testing multiple versions. It is easier to see if a file is missing or has the wrong permissions, and fix it. It is easier to backup and restore. I could go on and on. When an entire network depends on the LDAP infrastructure, these type of things really matter. I think this is a bad idea, and a waste of time. Time which could be much better spent on bring proper autoconf support. BR, Mike

[Fedora-directory-users] New filesystem layout for directory server and admin server files

by Rich Megginson

In order to be more linux friendly, we are currently considering changing the layout from having everything under /opt/fedora-ds to putting files in their FHS specific paths. The details are here - http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/FHS_Packaging I've heard some pretty strong opinions for both moving to this and sticking to the current packaging model. I'd like to open this debate up to the wider audience.

RE: [Fedora-directory-users] New filesystem layout for directory server and admin server files

by Bliss, Aaron

We are currently using fds in production without any issues at all; at first, management was a little skeptical about using software so critical to production systems without the comfort of a support contract, but after working out the pre-implementation bugs, the reliability of the application speaks for itself; I can honestly say that having all files in /opt/fedora-ds makes doing full backups, restores and disaster recovery testing very straight forward; I simply shutdown slapd and the admin server, tar up the directory, and startup slapd and the admin server; very quick to do, no muss or fuss; taking fds out of it's own directory would make my life much more difficult (as far as backups, and dr testing are concerned); so from my point of view, if I had a vote, I would say that if it's not broke, then don't fix it :) Aaron -----Original Message----- From: fedora-directory-users-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:fedora-directory-users-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of mj(a)sci.fi Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 5:04 PM To: General discussion list for the Fedora Directory server project.; miranda(a)syndetic.org Subject: Re: [Fedora-directory-users] New filesystem layout for directory server and admin server files Michael Chang <miranda(a)syndetic.org> kirjoitti: > > > You could always make a separate, FHS-specific package available and see > what people think.

Judging by a good portion of the traffic on this list, a good majority of the FDS users are still learning how to use an LDAP server, so they likely don't understand or care enough to have an opinion about file layout or why it matters in a package as large and complex as this one. OTOH, the RHDS package is used for critical infrastructure in banks, military, telecoms, etc. By the time those users notice the change and it's ramifications, it will be too late for them to have their vote (other than with their feet). -- mike -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this electronic message is intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity named above and may contain privileged or confidential information.

[Fedora-directory-users] How to change the Configuration Directory location?

by Philip Kime

I have a FDS 1.0.2 and I'd like to change the configuration directory location to another server (currently, it's the same server). The admin server has a tab for this and says it's possible but you must (obviously) migrate the config data first. For this, it says to "see the DS docs" - I can't find any information on this - is it a simple LDIF export/import? PK -- Philip Kime
