I figured it's been well over a year since I last posted about my systems, so it's time to provide an update. I haven't really been using any new software, just sticking with VMWare, Gentoo Linux (for servers), Windows (for gaming and Amanda's laptop and general purpose VM) and Sabayon Linux (for my main desktop). Note that the below list only includes systems that are actually in-use. I do have other systems stored away as backups.

The way that I used to have my domain users setup in OpenLDAP is that their login was "Firstname_Lastname". However, there are some applications that I wanted to use that don't like the underscore '_' in the name (specifically, MediaWiki). So, I renamed all of my domain users to have a period '.' instead of the underscore.

Ok, so I'm setting up a CentOS machine for a friend, and I'm beating my head against the wall, because when I run the command 'sudo su -' (to get root access from my normal user), I get zero errors (auth is successful), but my UID doesn't change to root.

Of course, I am using pam_ldap/nss_ldap/sudo-ldap, but that shouldn't matter--I've set this up a 100 times, and I've never run into a problem like this before (even enabling sudoers_debug to 10 in /etc/ldap.conf didn't show me anything else useful).

So I'm doing some general searches on Google to see if I can figure out what's going on (totally lost at this point). I come across an article that explains how to use 'getent passwd'. So, as my normal user, I run 'getent passwd | grep -i root', and this is what I get:
