alkisg, Should I be able to get away with only installing the LDAP client on the server or do I need nslcd installed and configured in the LTSP client image too? I currently have nslcd installed in the image only and not that I'm installing it on the server where it definitely need to be installed, I'm wondering if I should remove nslcd from the client image?
10:48
*and now that I'm installing
10:48
Nah it needs to be installed on the client
10:49
logion wouldn't work otherwise. Crazy thought
10:49
I'm always trying to minimise :)

alkisg, I got my LTSP ZFS home dirs config fully working today. The users datasets are created (if they don't already exist) using a pam_exec script that I enable all members of the users group exec as root via sudoers
18:15
That gets run wheb they login ofc
18:16
In the next month or two I will be updating my LTSP server install wiki guide with a lot more detail and that will cover setting up an LTSP server with ZFS home dirs
18:17
It will cover a whole sackload of gotchas and should be a great complement to the official docs
18:18
I've writte it already, it just needs a bit of tweaking and sanitising for public consumption
18:19
ITS GONNA BE BADASS, oh yes!
18:21
It will cover setting LTSP for a awkward uni network like ours, if anyone wants to borrow our weird config but more importantly it will have the nslcd LDAP and ZFS config gold in it
18:23
Hopefully it will reduce the amount of nagging poor alkisg has to suffer. I can guarantee it will, a bit at least. Its a bloody good condensed guide to Ubuntu as is
18:25
There will be a big warning at the start that it NOT the easiest way to configure LTSP but it will still be useful to users wanting simpler congigs
18:27
I'm pretty good a writing these docs now as I've done a far stack of them. This is the best one yet.
18:28
ignore my typing in IRC, its not representative of my amazing dox, honest.
18:29
alkisg, Thaks again for all your help! The wiki is going to win big from our combined efforts soon...
18:30
<alkisg>
danboid: great news, glad you sorted all this out
18:32
<danboid>
It was the second hardest job I've done yet after settiog up openstack. Sure there will be small tweaks to do yet but getting the LDAP/PAM/ZFS logins thing sorted was definitely the hard bit and thats done at last!
18:33
Great to see it works with no changes required to LTSP
18:35
I would've got here much faster if I'd tried testing with more than one LDAP account most likely
