It’s very useful for us country bumpkins who occasionally need to drive into London and find accessible (and affordable) parking.

I’ve long since sold the E220 and bought a MiFi – an altogether less painful experience and one that can be shared between multiple devices simultaneously. :)

I’m not sure if this is the configuration of my local machine but when I connect with the “GPRS (GSM/3G)” setting I cannot access FTP servers, however when using “Dialup Device” setting everything works as intended.

I’ve not checked whether or not I can open ports on the public IP Address however I have confirmed that the IP Address shown in System Preferences matches that displayed on speedtest.net.

A couple of points -
1. It should be Devons ROAD, not Row as given.
2. I found the following DLR stations were missing. I’ve found a nearby postcode in each case:-
King George V,E16 2JF
London City Airport,E16 2PB
Pontoon Dock,E16 2SB
West Silvertown,E16 1UD

I got my repo moved over, but I didnt have time to update some of my support scripts, so I’ve yet to migrate fully.

SubGit or SmartGit are better alternatives to git-svn for migration.

]]> Comment on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 Microsoft Active Directory Authentication by Ehttp://usefulthings.org.uk/2011/01/redhat-enterprise-linux-5-microsoft-active-directory-authentication/comment-page-1/#comment-2807 E Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:24:57 +0000 http://usefulthings.org.uk/?p=239#comment-2807 Want this to run encrypted?
Change ssl no to ssl start_tls
Start TLS will setup connection over tcp/389 but will start encrypting data whenever required (i.e. changing data).

Nothing besides this minor change needs to be done.

If LDAP connection times out, then at least restart nscd. Possibly you would actually need to run authconfig-tui to set up everything straight. With that done, it should be straightforward to alter configs as described above and get encryption running.
