Hi Scott, I am exploring what it will take to package the action lease server for the XS, and what usage scenarios we can support. So I had an initial look around act-server, which covers a much wider functionality than I had in mind.
If we assume for a moment that the lease "management" is done elsewhere, and that the XS has either a local private key that can sign leases locally or dole out pre-signed keys (fed to it via a usb drive), where can I find the scripts perform the handshake with the XO clients (I am assuming there are 2 - firmware-based and linux-based)? Can the current firmware on the XO accept leases signed with a local "delegated" key that is 2 steps removed from the OLPC key? For the time being, I plan on punting on the harder issues around network encryption we discussed earlier. Once the network-based lease server is in place, we can explore a fallback scheme involving teachers and usb keys for the machines that have soft-bricked themselves via active or passive kill. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
