Sorry, we keep context-switching faster than I can catch on. I meant to say that D-Bus is the mechanism that we'll use for the local applications to talk to the identity service and other similar services on the machine. > - Can Moodle ask what user accts are valid in this (school) context?

There are strong privacy concerns, but for some whitelist (e.g. the school server), authentication with transparency is a reasonable goal, and one I intend to support. > - Are there school administration tools Moodle should communicate with? -ENOTMYDOMAIN. Also, we're still not devoting any thought past the bare minimum to the details of server applications, so I think you'll have to wait a bit to get many of these answers. > Will those machines actually have RPM/Yum/APT?
