A simple tool for collecting facts from 'facter'
(http://reductivelabs.com/projectsfacter) and storing them in LDAP.  Comes with
an LDAP schema.

You generally will need to create a +hostmaster+ user who can modify hosts.
Enhost is currently only set up to use a single user for all host
modifications, but it could conceivably be set up to authenticate as the host
being managed (although it could not then create the host in the first place).

The easiest way to configure +enhost+ is to create +/etc/enhost.conf+ and put
the user, server, and password in there.  The only item you *must* provide
is the password; enhost defaults to the server being named 'ldap', and it
defaults to the user being 'uid=hostmaster,ou=People,dc=<domain>,dc=<tld>',
e.g, uid=hostmaster,ou=People,dc=madstop,dc=com.

You can also just create +/etc/ldap/hostmaster+ and put the password in there.

For hostmaster authentication in OpenLDAP, the following ACL should work:

    access to dn.subtree="ou=Hosts,dc=madstop,dc=com"
            by dn="cn=admin,dc=madstop,dc=com" write
            by dn="uid=hostmaster,ou=People,dc=madstop,dc=com" write
            by * read

Obviously, change your domain as appropriate.

Other than that, you just need to make sure you have Facter
(http://reductivelabs.com/projects/facter) installed, and run 'enhost' as a
user capable of retrieving all of the information (including the password).
