Liegt es an meinem Account oder habt ihr das auch?

After 2 years of intensive working with my old Dell Latitude D810, a new Dell Latitude D820 is on the way to me. The approximate delivery date is the 09.03.2007. The machine comes with Windows Vista Business.

My whole private IT is a pure linux environment, running Debian Etch and Ubuntu 6.10, so I’m curious of testing the new Windows version.

If you are already using a configuration, you can add the winbind authentication by simply changing “required” to “sufficient”. The order of the plugins in the file matters to the order of authentication.

The following configuration tries to authenticate against winbind and if this fails, against the unix module.

You have to turn off the new apache 2.2 basic authentication to get the module up and running. You can do this in two different ways. The first one is to disable the hole module, the second and better one is to disable it through a directive.

For the first solution, you can use the tool a2dismod to disable the module mod_auth_basic.

For the second way, you have to add this lines to the configuration above.

In the second way, the error.log of apache shows the following lines:

The positive message is: you can ignore them ;-) It means, that the mod_auth_pam does not register an AuthBasicProvider and therefore it is null and crashes. Not nice, but it works.

I could install the python2.4 package, but the package python was only available for python2.3. After creating the links (e.g. python -> python2.4) manually, I tried to get the apache2.2 package. To use debians apt for this job, I had to add the testing sources to the apt list. After this step, he tried to upgrade my system with a new kernel and some new tools. Enough for me! ;) I went to the debian package page and downloaded the testing net boot cd.

I use trac for my personal project management and tracking.

And… today I moved from RSS Bandit to Google Reader. I had a small conversation about online and offline readers with one of my colleagues and decided to give it a try and test an online reader. :-)
