Hi,

I've set up a Fedora 15 VM and have successfully configured it to
authenticate against my FreeIPA 1 servers, so this is good. One small
problem was that I couldn't get passwordless ssh logins *to* the F15
system working. I created and installed a host keytab, same as for all
the other systems, but no luck. I was able to ssh *from* the F15
system without a password however. Any ideas?

I've setup a Fedora 15 VM and installed the FreeIPA server. I ran the
ipa migrate-ds command provided in the documentation. All of the user
groups were migrated successfully, but none of the users were migrated
due to 'unknown object class "radiusprofile"' errors.

I've seen this post here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2011-May/msg00282.html

but I wanted to add that I don't use any of the radius functionality
and my FreeIPA v1 installation is pretty standard, so other users
might run into this. I didn't find a bug report, but can file one if
needed?

Thanks,

Dan
