Thanks for the info, and the suggestions. I now have MySQL working perfectly from Windows. And LDAP works in the sense that I can access my OpenLDAP data from http:<server>/phpLDAPadmin ; I haven't yet worked out how to access my LDAP address book from inside Outlook 2003. I'll turn to VPN next. I want to stick to OpenVPN on my Linux server and machines, since this works perfectly. It wasn't clear to me if Freeswan works with OpenVPN, and I'm not really clear about the relation between IPsec and VPN, or indeed what the purpose of IPsec is, since all my inter-machine communication already seems to be encrypted. But I shall continue my study ... -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
