Ok. The way Fedora DS works with respect to RPM install is a little different than OpenLDAP or other similar server software packages. With those, you generally get some of the configuration for your "instance" with the RPM package (there is usually only the one instance, and if you want to run another server, you have to manually configure it yourself). With Fedora DS, there are no instance specific files/directories in the RPM. You have to run the setup command to create these, and this will create the following directories: /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - contains dse.ldif and key and cert databases, pin.txt file, maybe the keytab as well /usr/lib64/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - scripts like db2ldif, ldif2db, etc. /var/lib/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - databases /var/log/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - logs /var/tmp/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - tmp files /var/lock/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - lock files/dirs So if you rpm -e, all of these will be left behind. I don't know if that is expected or desired. > > Chris St. Pierre > Unix Systems Administrator > Nebraska Wesleyan University > ---------------------------- > LOPSA Sysadmin Days: Professional Training for Professional SysAdmins > August 6-7, Cherry Hill, NJ > http://lopsa.org/SysadminDays > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
