with Brian's presentation notes from last night

Thanks, Brian
While there, I cleaned up http://www.colug.net/notes/ a bit
If a past presenter thinks they sent along notes that never
made it to the site, please advise and resend content othe
'colux' email address, and it will be added, along with the
notation of credit at:
http://www.colug.net/presentations/
The process of slotting in 'well formed content' is described
at:
http://www.colug.net/notes/CMS_process_to_use/
and can be as basic as making a directory, linking some PHP
in, and adding a couple files. When there are third party
non-text content such as PDF, and ODF files, as in Brian's
case, this was as simple as making:
[root at stones 20110928]# cat title.txt
Open LDAP, and SASL - Brian Miller
[root at stones 20110928]# cat fileindex.txt
Brian Miller walked through a large scale Open LDAP setup he
administers
with:<br>
<ul><li>several tens of thousands of end user accounts
scattered across</li>
<li>several hundred machines, and </li>
<li>dozens of client applications</li></ul><br>
I know, I know, root access
But it has been a fairly durable solution that, seeing Paul
Hostetler at the meeting last night, reminded me that it has
lasted for a decade with minimal maintenance load
The colug box itself has moved from chassis to chassis over
time. Sadly, I see that good old 'bopper' may finally have
succumbed, as it is not responding to pings any more. I'll
have to stop over at the station and see
The last prior died earlier this year, so I asked a friend to
bring me something out of the boneyard. I jumped the hard
drive into that chassis, and did a CentOS 'upgradeany' bounce
from an ancient cAos one-off orphan into the 5 series in March
