lamdaemon.pl is used to modify quota and homedirs
on a remote or local host via ssh.
If you want wo use it you have to set up many
thins to get it work.
1. Set values in LDAP Account manager
* Set the remote or local host in the configuration
(e.g. 127.0.0.1)
* Path to lamdaemon.pl, e.g. /srv/www/htdocs/lam/lib/lamdaemon.pl

2. Set up sudo
The perlskript has to run as root (very ugly I know but
I haven't found any other solution). Therefor we need
a wrapper, sudo.
Edit /etc/sudoers on host homedirs or quotas should be used
and add the following line:
$admin All= NOPASSWD: $path
$admin is the adminuser from lam and $path
is the path include the filename of lamdaemon.pl
e.g. $admin All= NOPASSWD: /srv/www/htdocs/lam/lib/lamdaemon.pl
At the moment the password is a paramteter of lamdaemon.pl
Therefore you should disable logging so the password doesn't
apear in any logfile
This can be done by adding the following line:
Defaults:$admin !syslog

3. Set up perl
We need some external perl-modules, Quota and Net::SSH::Perl
Th install them, run:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Quota
install Net::SSH::Perl
Please answer all questions to describe your system
Every additional needed module should be installed
automaticly

LDAP isn't used by lamdaemon.pl anymore

I installed Math::Pari, a needed module, by hand.
I had many problems to install Math::Pari, a module needed
by Net:SSH::Perl. The reason is a bug in gcc 3.3 (In my case).
I found the following solution to prevent this bug:
* Download and untar pari (http://www.parigp-home.de)
* Download and untar Math::Pari
* run perl Makefile.PL
* edit Makefile and libPARI/Makefile
Replace line "OPTIMIZE = -O3 --pipe" with
"OPTIMIZE = -O1 --pipe".
* run make
* run make install

4. Set up ssh
On my System, Suse 9.0 I had to set usePAM no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
to get lamdaemon.pl work
I had some problems to log in with ssh if the password hash of the
admin-user was encrypted with {SSHA}. I had to change encryption
for admin-accounts to {CRYPT} to get ssh work.
Now everything should work fine
