Do you have Macintosh users authenticating to their OS X workstations through eDirectory? Use this loginHook script to grant them access to the local machine by group and to populate GroupWise with their PO login settings.

For a while now I have wanted to see how many controls eDirectory really could handle, even if they were not supported. It should be mentioned loudly and clearly that as of eDirectory 8.8.5 some of these controls work but THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTED so if they do not work properly submit a bug or an enhancement but don't expect a quick response. Also for some of these there are definite limitations with how they work. I'll try to cover those as I go.

How fast can logins happen from a single client? How can I generate events for auditing for testing purposes? How much load can a single client put on eDirectory? Find out all that and more with one quick script: ldapbind.pl

Last week I was asked if there was a way to start an application at the command line and later come back to it from somewhere else. Normally in Linux/Unix (*nix) it is possible to 'background' a process and then return to it later on but that's only if you are still in the same session where the process was sent to the background. This is useful to have something run while you do other things but reconnecting to this session cannot be done with just the shell. Thankfully 'screen' is on Linux systems by default (all of them I've used anyway) and as a result, Linux Just Does That.
