I have moved my identity.pub file into LDAP, and, with some help
from doogie and Ben, all is well.
I am curious to know if the several machines copy these files
from LDAP, or if they access the LDAP when they need to authenticate a
user.
Yesterday, about 1145 EDT I uploaded a package to
ftp-master.debian.org using dupload and scp. I believe this was while
/etc/nologin was set. Does scp not login, or does it bypass the
nologin file somehow?
For each file in the upload, the message "Could not chdir to home
directory /home/hilliard: No such file or directory" was displayed,
but no other error messages were shown. The progress indicators that
dupload usually displays were not shown, and the upload was so fast I
was sure it had failed. (This is the first package I have uploaded
since I got a cable modem, which may be why it seemed so fast.) I was
shocked when I received a message from Debian Installer that
afternoon, indicating that the upload had succeeded
