Current status of migration

I’m in the process of configuring “freeradius” to do dialup authentication. It’s nearly ready, there’s just a little more tweaking of the dedicated connection authentication. Unfortunately, it’ll probably be Sunday before I can work on it again, but this should all be transparent — you won’t even notice when I switch this out.
The next phase after radius is moved is mail, which I’ll resume work on Sunday as well. The software is installed and running, so hopefully it’s just a matter of tweaking a bit, and then doing the virtual domain configuring. Once that’s done, then I need to document mail client configuration, then I can have users do some initial testing, prior to repointing the domain.

So, in brief, the next few steps:

  • configure and test freeradius
  • reconfigure terminal server to authenticate against new system
  • test courier imap/pop server
  • configure virtual domains in postfix
  • copy over mailman files from old system
  • test mail list operation
  • document mail client configuration with new system
  • have users test new mail server
  • repoint rdrop and virtual domain mail to new server

Phew!
