Re: [Astlinux-users] LDAP authentication

[Lenir S. <fla...@ya...>]

Would you be interested in doing some consulting work for us or recommend someone? We like Astlinux but for our needs is a bit limited. We are running on a mini-itx board (EPIA MII 1200) and want to boot off a USB flash pen and use the CF card slot to as the KD. We like how astlinux works (ro filesystem, busybox, etc.) What we want is like a Astlinux on steroids. We noticed that is somewhat based on Gentoo. So what we want is all the funtionality of Astlinux but running on a tiny version of Gentoo. Instead of uclibc, we want to use the normal libraries and also use the portage package, php, Zend optimizer, etc...all this to run off a 1G usb flash pen and still use the CF as a KD. You may reach me at lsa...@tr..., or at work +1-561-214-6241 if you have any questions.

Hmmm...

  That is interesting.

  The real problem is going to be that uClibc and all of the other
base components of AstLinux don't support NSS or PAM.  Those things
are usually not required (or wanted) in embedded systems.

  I like Bryce's SSH key idea.
