Hi all, I've decided that I'm going to use an Ubuntu-booting USB2 HDD at work - just like I did at my previous teaching job (well, I think it was Debian then) - so I can connect it up to any projector-connected workstation and use it the way I want to. I remember what I needed to do regarding machine-specific setups (a script that checks the eth0 MAC address worked nicely last time), and I see no reason that it should work again. My difficulty is with regards to Work's proxy. They're running a Smoothwall Guardian Server (so, presumably Squid with Dans Guardian). I have all the IP and DNS stuff set up nicely, but when I fire up a browser and point it 'outside' (ie having to go through the proxy) it fails because I'm not authenticated. Since we use Novell, I am presuming they have their Proxy checking against NDS. I have successfully authenticated against NDS with the 'ncplogin' command (and a bunch of options... I'm guessing it was successful because a:it came back with a $? of 0 and b:when I try the same command a second time, it tells me I'm already authenticated) but the Proxy still reckons I'm not auth'd. On Monday I will try authing with the ncplogin command and then running the browser from the same command line, but I'd really rather I didn't have to do it that way (if it works, then so-be-it). Anyone here have any experience running non-Novell/SuSE Linux systems and getting authentication to work against NDS? Incidentally, I'm not particularly bothered about 'logging in' or PAM-authing against NDS... unless that's the best way to go about it. Cheers.
