Update / Upgrade

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

LDAP / KDM

apt-get install aptitude lightdm ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop plasma-desktop

apt-get install auth-client-config libpam-ldap libnss-ldap ldap-auth-client ldap-auth-config
- LDAP server Uniform Resource Identifier: ldap://10.20.3.8
- Distinguished name of the search base: dc=cs,dc=transy,dc=edu
- LDAP version to use: 3
- Make local root Database admin: NO
- Does the LDAP database require login?: NO

Edit /etc/ldap.conf and change / check the following values:
- host 10.20.3.8
- base dc=cs,dc=transy,dc=edu (should be set already)
- uri ldap://10.20.3.8 (should be set already)
- bind_policy soft

Edit /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
- BASE dc=cs,dc=transy,dc=edu
- URI ldap://10.20.3.8

Edit /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d/transy

auth-client-config -a -p transy
Add the following line near the very top of /etc/pam.d/lightdm AND /etc/pam.d/login

auth    optional        pam_group.so

Add the following to the BOTTOM of /etc/security/group.conf:

# This will force all users that logon into these groups
login;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom,floppy,plugdev,audio,dip
#kdm;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom,floppy,plugdev,audio,dip,video
#gdm;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom,floppy,plugdev,audio,dip,video
lightdm;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom,floppy,plugdev,audio,dip,video

Test LDAP authentication - if "id USERNAME" returns with info about the user... all is good. (Maybe)

root@clarke:~# id kmoorman
uid=1129(kmoorman) gid=110(faculty) groups=110(faculty),800(camp),2100(linux)

Make sure you can log-in via KDM! See Potential Pitfalls.

Filesystems

apt-get install nfs-common
mkdir /classes
mkdir /labdata
Edit /etc/fstab

Add:


# NFS Filesystems
10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/home           /home           nfs     defaults,rw
10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/classes        /classes        nfs     defaults,rw
10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/labdata        /labdata        nfs     defaults,rw

Log-in to Babbage
edit /etc/exports
exportfs -a
exit
ssh root@IP
mount -a
Ensure the NFS filesystems loaded with "ls /home" "ls /classes" "ls /labdata"
