I've been much too quiet lately. I'm still hard at work putting together what I hope will be a very strong infrastructure for my company's application hosting operations, with about 15 servers for production, content management, and staging and testing.

One of the core components of this infrastructure is an OpenLDAP server, which I've been working on over the past week. Up until now it's been enough to have a couple of accounts which are created locally on all of the servers by puppet. I've got a chunk of disk space on a SAN which is shared across the machines, which is handy for having a common home area for key accounts I use to login and administer the machines, as well as the puppet templates and manifests.
