I decided to try out ebox-desktop on karmic (with eBox server 1.2), and it went quite well, although client-side setup wasn't quite as simple as documented (
http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/Documentation/EboxDesktop). I thought it'd only ask for my eBox server address, but additionally it wanted to know these details:
- LDAP server Uniform Resource Identifier
- Distinguished name of the search base
- LDAP version to use
- Make local root Database admin
- Does the LDAP database require login
... and 1 or 2 more, IIRC. I was in a bit of a hurry so I'm not 100% sure if I entered the correct values for some of them, but afterwards logging in using eBox user accounts worked fine anyway, as did the automatic configuration for Pidgin and Firefox. However, a
dpkg-reconfigure ebox-desktop only asks for the server address as documented. How do I reconfigure the rest, or do I even need to?
Then I tried to SSH the client computer using one of its
local user accounts; Logging in works, but right after asking for a password it produces this error message:
/bin/sh failed: exit code 1I confirmed the behaviour on another client machine as well. It doesn't seem serious, though, because everything seems to work despite the error, but I'd sure like to know what causes it. SSH works without that error message when logging in with an eBox user account.
Also, is it safe to remove and/or reinstall the package without fears of messing up something?
