[Fedora-directory-users] Trying to run FDS on Core 5

[Dick Steflik]

All,
I'm trying to run FDS for a class I teach, I have previously used the 
Netscape Directory Server on NT but the hard drive on that machine went 
belly up this last summer. I decided that Linux would be the way to go 
for a replacement machine. Anyway, I downloaded the 
fedora-ds-1.0.2-1FC5.i386.opt.rpm and proceded with the install. Install 
seemed to go OK; I started slapd and tried a test query and it worked. I 
want to load a doctored up version of the old Airius.ldif file so I 
started looking for the admin-server. Anyway it seems like there are 
supposed to be start/stop scripts on /opt/fedora-ds but there 
aren't....any ideas what might have happened to them? or where I get 
them from.     

Also, I'm running a 512Mb machine which should be OK; but when I try to 
start up the Java based console I get an "out of memory" message. I 
would like  to think that since only about 30 people are ever going to 
be doing  ldap queries against it that 512Mb of RAM should be OK (it was 
for the old Netscape Directory Server). I could live without the Java 
based console if I could get the admin server running as that is the way 
I always administerd the old machine.
