OK, I'm trying to get a handle on the kind of identification you are talking about then. Like Martin I kind of thought we were talking about laptop/clients identifying themselves to servers.
Hi Ian, Due to the mesh structure of the network and unreliable/limited access to remote servers, I suspect that the OLPC environment is strongly P2P shaped, with some client-server services, where "local" servers are significantly better than remote servers. So any auth scheme will have to work in this P2P + distributed servers scenario.
So are we talking about laptops identifying themselves to other laptops?
Very likely. Have you seen sugar's demo UIs?
Or even the laptop identifying itself to... itself?
Ivan was indicating D-Bus for local RPC. cheers, martin _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
