Adjustments for a separate Linbo installation

[hermanntoast]

To reduce the load on the Linuxmuster server and offload individual services, it would be great if Linbo could run on a separate server. Currently, this isn't possible due to tools that are only available on the Samba AD server. After an initial review, I noticed the following issues in the linuxmuster-common package:

Global $LDBSEARCH-definition:

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 17 in 78bc337

  LDBSEARCH="$(which ldbsearch) -b OU=SCHOOLS,$basedn -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb"

get_hostname():

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 77 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixComputerIP=$1)" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 79 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixComputerMAC=$(toupper $1))" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 81 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "($attr=$(tolower $1))" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

get_mac():

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 92 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixComputerIP=$1)" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 94 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixDnsNodename=$(tolower $1))" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 96 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "($attr=$(toupper $1))" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

get_ip():

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 107 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixDnsNodename=$(tolower $1))" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 109 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixComputerMAC=$(toupper $1))" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 111 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "($attr=$1)" $attr | grep ^$attr | awk '{print $2}'

get_hostgroup():

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 133 in 78bc337

  schoolprefix=$($LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixDnsNodename="$(tolower $1)")" sophomorixSchoolPrefix | grep sophomorixSchoolPrefix | awk '{print $2}')

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 135 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixDnsNodename="$(tolower $1)")" memberOf | grep ,OU=device-groups, | awk -F= '{print $2}' | awk -F, '{print $1}' | sed 's|^d_||'

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 137 in 78bc337

  $LDBSEARCH "(sophomorixDnsNodename="$(tolower $1)")" memberOf | grep ,OU=device-groups, | awk -F= '{print $2}' | awk -F, '{print $1}' | sed "s|^d_${schoolprefix}-||"

get_hostname_dhcp_ip():

• linuxmuster-common/share/helperfunctions.sh

  Line 152 in 78bc337

  get_hostname "$macaddr"

As discussed, it would be ideal to replace these tools with API calls to the Linuxmuster server.
