This can easily be solved by creating some tools and/or defining a few simple schema transfer procedures. Such a remote desktop configuration server (like ZLM?) would need configuration anyhow (by a competent administrator or team of administrators). Just like how a remote desktop package management repository would need some minimal configuration or setting up (installing). A RedHat satellite server needs configuration (sure RedHat configures it, but the package list was configured, assembled and/or installed at some point). You cannot expect every single thing in a large network to happen automagically. The very nature of humans makes sure this probably also shouldn't happen (we all like to be "different", right?). -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer at x-tend home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: vanhoof at x-tend dot be http://www.pvanhoof.be - http://www.x-tend.be _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
