Jul. 8th, 2005 10:29 amThis is definitely the biggest challenge I've had in my system administration career.
I have to come up with an algorithmic method to convert a system from using its current nameservices to using my new LDAP server. The old system may use both local accounts and an old central naming service. I have to remap all G/UIDs on the system in question to fit my new criterion - local accounts that're staying local below ID 1000, local accounts that're moving to LDAP getting removed from the local passwd file, old remote accounts simply getting remapped.
Trying to keep the whole project straight in my head is, in fact, causing me head pains.
