Does there exist a GUI Front End for OpenLDAP admin for CentOS 5 (RHEL 5)?
The binary (i386) rpm for directory_adminstrator works just fine with CentOS 4, but does't install under CentOS 5 and the src RPM does not build (I hacked the spec file and did install the build deps, but it is using an old hack for finding libgnome (/usr/lib/gnomeConf.sh or something like that).
I installed centos-ds, but this *looks* like it is a replacement OpenLDAP's slapd, which I don't want -- I have things set up and working with slapd and don't want to migrate things again.

From a Windows client you can see and manage your LDAP directory with the free LDAP Admin:
http://ldapadmin.sourceforge.net/
Under Linux, Luma http://luma.sourceforge.net/
You can also manage your directory with a browser using the following (among others):
phpLDAPadmin http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
LDAP Account Manager http://lam.sourceforge.net/
Webmin (general system administration, including LDAP) http://www.webmin.com

We don't have any MS-Windows clients. The GUI must be Linux-based (this includes a web-based system accessed via a standard web browser).

The answer is already in my post. I use all of them, according to circumstance and specific need.
Hi.
Could you please give me advice about issue described below.
My friends have to use a PC with old hardware for a few months. They've got 128MB of RAM, 20 GB hard drive; Pentium 3 processor.
At the moment they have windows xp running on it, but it's very slow.
What are the system requirements for CentOS 2 or any other version of this OS that may be suitable?
Can you recommend any other Linux distro that would be easy to install and to use?
Thanks in advance for any input.
The RAM is a little on the low side, 512M is the recommended to run a GUI at the moment I think but 128M is all that's required for Command line, and GUI would probably run but might be a little slow to respond. But otherwise this machine should do run Centos 5 fine. The CPU and HD are more then adequate
Ubuntu is the anther distro to play with if you want to play with a non-RPM based distro. With all the distro's I've played with Centos 5 and the current Ubuntu 9 (http://www.ubuntu.com/ ) are about the easiest to get up and running.
Both of these distro's have a nice constant stream of free software updates/upgrades being feed into them so having an network connection available helps.

I can smell a flame startin' Under no circumstances should you install Ubuntu on that PC, it'll work slower than a snail. I used to have a similar PC (also with 128 ram), and the fastest distros that run on it were Slackware and VectorLinux (without heavy DE's like KDE or Xfce). Even so, 128 ram was painful, 256 was quite almost enjoyable so I realy recommend to make an effort to buy some more ram.

Yes. CentOS 5. Start with a minimal install (base system). Install and configure X. Only install packages you really need, be sure to deactivate all unnecessary services. Go for XFCE, IceWM, Fluxbox or some other lighter window manager. This sort of configuration is running in my neighbour's home, I installed it for them on their old PIII-500 with 128 MB RAM.

To add - I run CentOS 5 just fine on an IBM Thinkpad T20 (700MHz PIII when plugged in, 550MHz on battery) with 384MB of ram.
I ran it just fine on 256MB until one of the ram modules died. I then ran it on 128MB painfully while waiting for the replacement (256MB) chip to arrive. Note though that I'm running the full gnome GUI.
Disable JavaScript except when you absolutely must have it, browsing with JS / flash enabled crashes low memory machines.
Don't use OpenOffice - AbiWord an Gnumeric both do well on low memory machines. For that matter, so does LaTeX as it just uses a text editor until you are ready to compile your document, but LaTeX has quite a learning curve.
If the 20GB HD is a 5400RPM (probably is) try to get a 7200RPM drive - that's what I did in my old laptop and the difference was night and day.
If it is a desktop, and you do replace the drive with faster spinning, if there's room to continue using the older drive - you can use the older drive as dedicated swap, which will help a lot. You don't need 20GB of swap, you can partition it, but don't use the non swap for anything much other than storage of stuff you don't need to access often.
This, btw, is what I love about Linux. Old hardware stays useful for much longer, reducing waste in the land fills.
Thanks a lot for your help , guys. P.s : think, we'll add memory and proceed with Centos 5 ...

Just upgrade to 256MB, Windows XP will work like charm.

I use gq on fedora and I think it is the best gnome client. You can try compile it on CentOS from src.rpm
