The installation actually was quite easy after having completed the Sun configuration.

  1. Install LDAPUX (available from HP’s site somewhere, just google for ‘download ldapux’).
  2. On slapd: Make sure the ‘profile’ OU is accessible by anybody. It doesn’t store sensitive data, but should be able to be read by the HP-UX system in question.
  3. Follow the instructions on: this guy’s blog
  4. Make sure you do this stuffs too!
    1. Make sure you select option 1 when it asks which type of directory server you’re trying to connect to.
    2. Make sure your ‘credentialLevel’ is set to ‘proxy’ if you want to use a proxy user.

Finally something that makes sense. I still can’t figure out how to make the categories not be annoying. But I guess we’ll take things one step at a time ?

Yet another thing to do in my spare time…

I’m running out of that faster and faster it seems.

I was going to start thinking about building a new server, but I can’t really decide what I’d get if I were to get one… I was looking at Newegg, but whenever I pick some hardware out that I’m satisfied with, the cost is astronomical.

So I decided to look at Dell’s stuff. I’ve seen that a few of their lower-end servers have gotten a bunch of good ratings, and since this is going to be a server for my use at home, I don’t really need anything crazy.

This server actually looks to be almost exactly what I need. I really don’t have the hardest to match criteria there is…

  1. It has to support FreeBSD perfectly, and I’ve seen that this server runs FreeBSD 7.0 very well, and since I’ve never had a problem with FreeBSD going on a Dell, I’m not worried anyway.
  2. I don’t want a junky case. This one seems to be cooled correctly, and just… clean.
  3. I don’t want to have to RMA stuff to Newegg anymore, because they’re just a pain in the ass. If this server needs to be sent back, I’ve dealt with Dell before, they’ll send me a new one as soon as possible, and I can send the problem one back with much less time wasted.

I priced out the pretty reasonable choice out of all this, and it looks like after shipping I’ll have payed about $600.00. Not so bad for a new server.

Oh, and I’ve got a 3ware raid card just hanging around, so that will suit this nicely. I just have to decide if I really want to spend $600.00 on anything right now.. :/

It’s really a pretty neat graph to have, too bad the program is written in Java.

This wordpress theme will do me just fine for now.
