Installation and Upgrades / Re: Can eBox replace MS AD for simple things?
« on: July 16, 2009, 04:38:16 pm »
Hi Elliott!
eBox can indeed replace your AD for authentication and file sharing.
eBox can work as a PDC so you can configure other Windows machines to be authenticated against it. In addition, starting with the upcoming 1.4 release (to be released in ~6 months, but with working alphas almost ready) you can set up a master eBox and a few slave eBoxes that replicate parts of the master LDAP (users and groups, but not service-specific data) allowing you to easily have your services distributed among several eBoxes.
Right now we don't have anything in place to facilitate the backup LDAP server. You would have to do that manually, probably using another eBox and syncrepl to replicate the LDAP.
If you install a slave eBox (remember that that is only available in the development 1.3 series) you will get a replica of the users but not of the Samba parts, so that wouldn't be too useful.
In any case it sounds like a nice feature to have and we will look into it.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: eBox 1.1.30 User Corner and Samba password issues
« on: July 07, 2009, 04:14:15 pm »Thanks for the reply. Despite the gray hairs this issue gave me, the point of unstable/testing versions is to squash bugs, so I'm glad that it revealed a bunch of them.
yeah, thanks a lot for reporting these issues

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Ebox 1.1.20 - Suggestion to facilitate the creation of users in the webinterface
« on: June 29, 2009, 10:48:24 am »
I agree with the fact that it's not too comfortable right now, but I don't like the proposed solution
First of all, if you really want to add more than, let's say, 10 users, I would recommend not doing it through the web interface, but with the script available here:
http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/HowTo/ImportUsersInBulk
That being said, we'll try to improve the UI for the user addition, make it more consistent with the rest of eBox and as easy-to-use as possible.
Thanks for raising this issue

Hi!
Yeah, we are going to fix that, thank you for pointing it out (and for the fix). While we fix it and get a new version with the fix, you can change it in the slapd.conf template:
That will be overwritten only when installing a new ebox-usersandgroups version.
Cheers

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Use LDAP Server for authentification
« on: June 22, 2009, 01:41:25 pm »
Hi, you have to modify the /etc/default/slapd file to make slapd listen to connections in the external interfaces too.
# Edit /etc/default/slapd and in the SLAPD_SERVICES variable, change "ldap://127.0.0.1:389" to "ldap://0.0.0.0:389". This will allow accepting connection from any host.
then
# Edit /etc/default/slapd and in the SLAPD_SERVICES variable, change "ldap://127.0.0.1:389" to "ldap://0.0.0.0:389". This will allow accepting connection from any host.
then
Code: [Select]
# /etc/init.d/slapd restart

Installation and Upgrades / Re: how to delete firewall rules without web interface / GUI, my box is not accessib
« on: May 18, 2009, 11:27:31 pm »
Well, if you remove ebox-firewall and reboot the machine then there is no way ebox can be bringing up the firewall 
Try removing everything with apt-get remove --purge libebox, that should do quite a complete ebox removal.
You can disable modules from the 'module status' interface and you can make sure you temporarily have access to the web interface by running:
You can install ebox in an existing machine, just don't install everything and don't enable anything you don't really want enabled. Make sure something you enable doesn't create any conflicts with other stuff you have manually configured in that machine ...

The first field was indeed for entering the old password, but it has been removed in the current development version so don't worry about it

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox firewall stop should stop the firewall.You can install the modules you need and manage everything else manually.

Spanish / Re: Ayuda con /etc/skel y usuarios nuevos
« on: May 13, 2009, 08:07:10 pm »
El problema es que pam_mkhomedir solo crea el directorio home del usuario si este no existe en el momento de entrar en sesion. eBox crea ya estos directorios, sin copiar el directorio /etc/skel/, por lo que pam_mkhomedir no hace nada ...
Quiza se pueda añadir a eBox una opcion para usar /etc/skel/ al crear nuevos directorios.
Un saludo

Spanish / Re: configuracion correcta

Hola, por dar algunas ideas que puedes probar, para ir viendo por donde esta tu problema:
a) asegurate de que el modulo de correo esta habilitado en la seccion Module status (Estado de los modulos)
b) asegurate de que hay algo ejecutandose en el puerto 25 (SMTP), 110 (POP3), ..., por ejemplo ejecutando el comando:
c) asegurate que desde la maquina desde la que intentas configurar el cliente de correo puedes conseguir acceder a estos puertos. La manera mas facil es instalar telnet usado apt-get e intentar ejecutar:
Dinos si todas estas cosas te funcionan o si te dan algun problema. Incluye tambien el problema concreto que te da tu cliente de correo.

Yeah, we have been actually thinking about this lately and Javi has already done some preliminary work. I am sure it'll be happy to announce it as soon as it's ready, and probably even happier if someone is willing to do some betatesting for him
