Hi. My wish list would be coming from a small school with a one-man IT department :-)
I could very much use a script and/or a built-in utility in the next release of Ubuntu that can use a two-column entry in OpenOffice.Org's Calc with a column of user names and the second column with machine-generated password, which is then saved in a thumb drive, then execute this script to populate all the machines with the user names and user passwords every start of School Year calendar. Best regards, Mon Sagullo Philippines ________________________________ From: Darrell Eifert <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, May 23, 2009 10:04:05 AM Subject: Edubuntu additions for public libraries Hello -- Without burdening anyone here with too much of a detailed "wish list", I'd like to inquire as to the best or proper way to request additional features in Edubuntu or Ubuntu LTSP that would make this distro a very attractive option for public libraries. In general, we need two things: first of all a way to lock down or restore a workstation to a pristine state for each new user, and secondly a way to regulate computer use by a system of login tickets (randomly generated printed passwords) and timers (different groups of computers for different periods of time). Many librarians are seeing the end of their WinXP workstations lifecycle, and are looking for better alternatives before having to spend scarce resources on hardware and software upgrades. Many thanks in advance.
