The operative code on the school server is /usr/libexec/create_user. What Manash describes is apparently using the db setup by idmgr to list the registered laptops. I don't think you will break compatibility. What I hope we can look at is implementing LDAP as a central authentication for all

A more direct way to support Windows would be to use the Windows port of the GTK toolkit. This has been done before: https://blogs.gnome.org/kittykat/2014/01/29/developing-gtk-3-apps-with-python-on-windows/ A GTK expert might be able to point us to the current preferred approach. On Wed, Apr

Re OwnCloud The software is included in xsce; however, the last time I tried it was not configured. The key in OwnCloud is configuration (db, etc.). One concern I have is that we have a way to authenticate users. We are growing the number of server 'services' which require a username and
