[Server-devel] OLPC_XS_164 is xs-0.3-rc and my short term plans
Hi! If you are running or testing earluer versions of the XS image, I need to ask you to test this one. It will become our 0.3 unless we get new bug reports against it. I will be working the next few weeks on 1 - system level admin and tools - + PAM SOTP + Installation fixups + RSSH configuration 2 - user visible tools + XO-XS authentication + Moodle installation The other big task is the port to Fedora 9 -- but delayed at the moment.

[Server-devel] Packaging the activation server for the XS
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 ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] schoolnet activities?
Bernie, Have we configured Browse to display the Flash activities automatically? Also, have we sugarized Firefox 3? David, you can install firefox 3 as an rpm however we haven't completed sugarizing it. Currently we are launching it from the command line. We will sugarize it as we are using for the next generation of E-Paath activities. Also, check out our E-Library that we have developed http://pustakalaya.olenepal.org all built w/ open-source components and and can scale to millions of objects. May be of interest to you.
