With NFS, such setup would cause NFS hangs for a lot of processes (anyone doing the equivalent of ls -l /), so we choose /skole/host/home0/username for Debian Edu. > http://desarrollo.educarex.es/linex/projects/linexcolegios2010/repository/show/zeroconf-services Great.

Right. I've asked for pam_mkhomedir to get pam-auth-update configuration in Squeeze (#485282), and home it will be available in time. If it is, setting up such configuration would consist of installing a libpam-mkhomedir package. :) > mmm, let me check it next week in a school.

I am aware of two solutions for this, one using nscd and one using pam-updatedb. > wicd works for us better than network-manager because: > - the network connection is done before the user logins, wich is > important if you use automount or just ldap netgroups > - in Gnome, network manager is integrated with the gnome-keyring-manager > deposit that's very complicated to be used by teachers. > - wicd has a very nice hooks system that allows us to do somethings > before or after getting a connection (maybe network-manager also has > something similar, I've never checked it) Sound like wicd might be a good solution for roaming workstations. It should be possible to configure network-manager to configure network before a user log in (ie at boot), but I have not been able to get it working. In KDE, network-maanager is integrated with kwallet, and ask for wallet access even for non-encrypted wireless networks. :) > Sure, and it's very different doing some thing for anyone in the > world, than doing it for an controlled environment.

We have a framework in place, but no-one documented how to use it and I doubt anyone is using our framework for distributed cfengine. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
