How to set upp ldap and nfs to an ebox server. For ldap users and files:

THE EBOX SERVER HAS THE IP 192.168.0.3 THE SEARCH BASE IS dc=ebox

To get this to work you have to change this to match your system:

    apt-get install libpam-ldap libnss-ldap nss-updatedb libnss-db nfs-common ldap-utils

On the questions enter this:

    LDAP server Uniform Resource Identifier: ldap://192.168.0.3 <- it's important it says ldap://<ip-address>
    Distinguished name of the search base: dc=ebox
    ldap://ldap.example.com 3
    Make local root Database admin: No
    Does the LDAP database require login? No

Open file:

    /etc/ldap.conf 

Make sure it says:

    bind_policy soft
    host 192.168.0.3
    uri ldap://192.168.0.3

And after this, at the bottom:

    nss_base_passwd         ou=Users,dc=ebox?one
    nss_base_passwd         ou=Computers,dc=ebox?one
    nss_base_shadow         ou=Users,dc=ebox?one
    nss_base_group          ou=Groups,dc=ebox?one

Open this file:

    /etc/ldap/ldap.conf

It should look like this:

    BASE    dc=ebox
    URI     ldap://192.168.0.3
    SIZELIMIT       0
    TIMELIMIT       0
    DEREF           never

Then run these commands:

    sudo auth-client-config -t nss -p lac_ldap
    sudo pam-auth-update

Test so that it works:

    getent passwd

You should now see your ldap users

Time for nfs and home folders. Create folders:

    /home/samba/users

Then open file:

    /etc/fstab

And add this line att buttom:

    192.168.0.3:/home/samba/users /home/samba/users nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,bg  0       0

Activate the mount:

    mount /home/samba/users

Ubuntu 10.04 has something wrong with the ldap and pam module. So ldap users can login if you do not remove all lines and only have these lines activated in the files below:

    sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-account

    account sufficient pam_ldap.so
    account required pam_unix.so

    sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-auth

    auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
    auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass

    sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-password

    password sufficient pam_ldap.so
    password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5

time to reboot and use ubuntu with ebox:

    reboot
