To fsck or not fsck after 180 days "Switching to xfs would at least allow for a reasonably fast fsck"... Did I miss something? |

Active Directory and OpenLDAP synchronization It depends on how you set it up. The implementation described above assumes that you're going to create users in OpenLDAP and then use the domain controller to authenticate them. In this case, you can set whatever authorizations are needed on the OpenLDAP account when creating the user. |

Linking databases securely through firewall, MSSQL to MySQL +1. As long as there is no public access to the database server, and your web application is sufficiently protected from running malicious code, there's no reason to keep separate "web" and "master" DB servers. |

Active Directory and OpenLDAP synchronization @Tilo: I agree, AD schema is strange. However, I was successful in using it for basic authentication and authorization in several instances. Recognizing that "sAmAccountName" is the username is usually sufficient to achieve simple authentication. For more complex setups, or if you need to store any custom attributes, a separate LDAP infrastructure is highly recommended. |

Active Directory and OpenLDAP synchronization Active Directory is LDAP (or at least a derivative of it), and can be accessed as an LDAP server. In the past, rather than introducing a separate OpenLDAP server for non-Windows systems I simply created a "bind" account in AD and then used the domain controllers as my LDAP servers. If you don't already have an OpenLDAP infrastructure in place, this might get you up and running faster. |

MySQL cannot connect via “localhost”, only 127.0.0.1 @TheLQ: It's a Mac thing. While there is a symlink from /etc to /private/etc, for some reason Apple generally advises using the "true" path: support.apple.com/kb/TA27291 |
