Add Linux machines to a Windows domain
2012.03.21.09:03
This week’s question from reader Bobby Kneisel is one that I get quite a lot, which makes me happy because it means more and more people are adding Linux machines to a Windows domain. Q: I work for an organization that is primarily a Microsoft shop, but I have a need to connect my laptop running Fedora 16 to our Exchange 2010 server. I have as yet found no means to do this that does not involve IMAP and our Exchange admin does not want it to set up on our server. I have tried Evolution with the evolution-mapi package, but I can’t get the connection to work. Any ideas? A: There’s a tool that makes this really simple. The tool is PowerBroker Identity Services Open Edition, and it can, with the help of a user-friendly GUI, get your Linux box connected to that Windows domain. Although the tool has officially changed its name to PowerBroker Identity Services Open Edition, you can still find the tool listed as its former name Likewise Open in most standard repositories. So just fire up your Add/Remove software tool, do a search for “likewise” (no quotes), and install the package named likewise-open-gui. Once it’s installed, you should find it located in your System menu under Active Directory Membership. The GUI makes the joining of Active Directory domains a piece of cake.

David Olson, the volunteer who had run the public domain Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Database was sued by AstroLab for using data from their ACS Atlas program. Olson, who didn’t have the resources to fight a lawsuit, wrote on October 6th that “A civil suit was filed on September 30 in federal court in Boston; I’m a defendant; the case involves the time zone database.” And, therefore, “the ftp server at elsie.nci.nih.gov has been shut down.” This ftp sever, better known in networking and Unix and Linux circles as the Olson database or the Time Zone (TZ) database, was the official reference that all Linux and Unix systems use to set clocks from Universal Time–the modern version of Greenwich Mean Time–to local time. As such, it’s used by almost everyone who uses the Web to keep local time.

Webmin, for the unitiated, is the ultimate lazy system administrator tool. It’s a web-based interface to your UNIX or Linux system that covers almost every configurable aspect of the system and any add-on program you can ponder. You can’t rely on it for 100 percent of your system administration tasks, but you can probably use it for 99 percent of them.
