Autofs with LDAP IS problematic. I’ve switched to mounting /home directory upon host bootup. Looks simplier and more stable.

LDAP, NFS, autmount
Test LDAP machine installed today. Test NFS (for homes) installed today. Automount of user’s home directory upon login gives a hell a lot of problems. We’ll see how it goes.
Coding and learning
Coding indeed happens. More LDAP knowledge gained today.
Olga is off to Russia
My wife left to Russia to change her passport. It looks like I’ll be busy with coding of those few things that were bothering me for some time now.
Unicode in Linux
Installed RT bugraq/ticketing system for our developers. Seems to work as good as it does for our support team.
Another step to the victory with Unicode support in both X and console. Today I’ve managed to fix the pseudographics (think mc) in console. It looks much better now. Even displays russian characters in mutt. Does not let me input them yet, though. Most updated /etc/sysconfig/i18n looks like this now:
LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_LOCALE=ru_RU.utf8 LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 SYSFONT=ruscii_8x16
