There are now at least 3 machine objects that are stored in ldap:
A machine that is a member of a net-group
A machine that is member of the samba domain
A machine that exists in DHCP
In a short distance I can see 2 or 3 more:
DNS information for the host
Reverse DNS information
Squid access information (Or maybe that should be provided based on
netgroup)
I would like to be able to add a machine by entering all information on
into a single form.
For users, we use templates, and for the users there are 2 objects added
for each user added, the user object, and the personal group object. I'm
not sure if it's possible to add more than a couple of objects, due to
limitations in the schemas, but I've not tried. By now (if my memory is
correct) LWAT creates an object which combines netgroup with samba
domain-member (which is actually a user object). I've not tried to
combine DHCP-info with an existing machine object, but I think I tried
to combine a DHCP-object and a DNS object (to be used with pdns), and it
failed. But I'm still testing this.
Bug reports (preferably with patches) will be welcome at
