So long as you set up the resolv.conf within the chroot, that should work as expected. > Any updates on the status of local application support in LDM2, or isn't that > related to > LDM? We're still needing a good method for getting network auth going. I don't want to say too much, but Matt Oquist and I banged around a couple of ideas in #edubuntu a few days ago, and he's begun work on pam/nss module that will do what we want without the need for pushing ldap down to the client by, amazingly, doing the pam and nss stuff over the ssh link. I've briefly looked at some of the code. Once I get done with ldm2, I want to help Matt with it, as I think it's the answer to our prayers. I doub't we'll see it for gutsy. But, the next LTS is coming up, and I WANT to see it in for that. Two releases ago we fixed Local devices. Last release we fixed sound. This release, we're fixing speed/scalability Next release, we tackle localapps. Should put us ing good shape for the next 5 years, eh? Scott -- Scott L.
