One of the biggest things that linux users forget all the time is that
Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly because of their pretty desktop because if
desktop beauty was the deciding factor we would all use OS X. The biggest
thing is that one a windows server you can have Ldap + Kerberos + File
Serving setup in under 10 minutes with no hassle. On windows its "Hey do you
want to install Active Directory? Ok I can do that for you type your dns
domain name and admin password POOF! I'm done."
I have spent the last 4 days trying to get Ldap + Kerberos + NFSv4 to work
at home with a little 6 node network and I can't even do that, how do you
expect me or anyone to try and deploy this at a business or a school? Its
practically impossible to find a good howto on this, and then feeding ldap
information with ldif's? What the hell?! Yes I know this is standard but I
come from a windows world and to paraphrase the Mac people "it just works"
I am sick of struggling with this and pretty soon am just going to go back
to windows work stations.
If someone could give me a great (not just a good) howto on installing ldap
+ kerberos + NFSv4 for homedirs that would be great. I'm on a all feisty
network.
Maybe in the next iteration of Ubuntu instead of just 1. DNS server and 2.
LAMP server, they could have another option Directory Server.
