Hi all, Anything forthcoming in this matter is highly anticipated. Edubuntu really needs a manual for this with detailed instructions. I have had a look at several instructions and web sites, none of which are simple or streamlined for the use with Edubuntu!!
The reason for this request is rather simple. With Edubuntu you can run one classroom off one server (3GB RAM) with say 30 clients, excellent, no problem. But once your requirements grow beyond that (say 120 or 350 PCs), Edubuntu without tweaking, is simply not nearly up to the task. Choices at this point seems to be that either you have to go with a monster server with loads of RAM and expensive networking, and a 64bit install which then opens a few other cans with creepy worms, OR, get LDAP going and run several small/normal cluster servers. The second option just seems like such a more logical progression for the project, helping to keep those costs down on expensive hardware. >From a practical point of view, having one point a failure isn't ideal either, so LDAP just makes so much sense. LDAP technology is proven and has many, many free tools available for easy implementation on Edubuntu. Come on technical gurus - make us a manual - PLEASE!!! Better still, an LDAP installation script for 8.04 LTS would be most applicable. ;-) Fantastic project!

Also would need a tutorial for setting up the LDAP server and probably how to get the thin clients to authenticate against it as well.
