* Package name : kwartz-client Version : 1.0-1 Upstream Author : georges Khaznadar <georg...@debian.org> * URL : https://salsa.debian.org/georgesk/kwartz-client * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: shell (sh) Description : Configuration of a Kwartz client Kwartz is a school server featuring many services, deployed in French schools. This package makes it easier for sysadmins to integrate a GNU-Linux client machine in a network ruled by a Kwartz service, to allow users to authenticate against the LDAP directory, auto-mount Samba shares for themselves, and for the groups and projects they belong to. Considerations about sustainability: ------------------------------------ 1. this package is small, and just contains a few shortcuts to make it easier for everyone with the right permissions to configure libpam-ldapd and other pam modules with a set of questions targeting newbie users. 2. LDAP services in a school, together with Gnu-Linux clients should become less uncommon as free software spreads around. Kwartz is not a unique case, I hope that this solution may be developed in more flavors, to target other "popular" LDAP services deployed in schools. 3. I shall keep maintaining this package as long as I teach in my school since it is necessary for my students. 4. The package is maintained in https://salsa.debian.org/georgesk/kwartz-client
