But I did bounce the beta3 announcement to digi.no, hardware.no and computerworld.no. The next release (beta4?) will have more polishing and updated documentation that I expect will materialise during next weekends developer gathering. I expect this release to happen in 2-3 weeks. Perhaps a press release should be prepared for this release? Depending on how well beta3 hold up, we might even drop beta4 and call it our first stable release. :) At least I suspect we are not going to need much more changes before the stable release. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Automount NFS vs NFS4
Hi, sorry for being that boring... Looking into /etc/auto.net I see that theoretically the NFS is NFS3. Changing the commented line and allowing NFS4 works on Ubuntu workstation, and I'll check it soon on Edu Workstation. Wouldn't be better to switch just to have more consistency?

Third Debian Edu Squeeze based Beta Release, 6.0.4 edu beta3
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We are happy to announce "Debian Edu Squeeze 6.0.4 beta3"! Debian Edu aka Skolelinux is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school network. It contains setup for a school server, PXE booting for diskless machines, setup for installing stationary workstations and setup for workstations that can be taken away from the school network. Those who already tested beta2 will need to install their machines again to get all the fixes and improvement now provided with beta3. Complete download and installation instructions are available at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/Installation Read the "Getting Started" chapter of the manual to learn how to login for the first time. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/GettingStarted Please file bugs on any issues you find, and (probably somewhat additionally) also mention those bugs and issues on our status page at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Squeeze Testing and giving feedback to debian-edu@lists.debian.org or #debian-edu on irc.debian.org is a very good way to start contributing! Act now :-D If you can do more, give the manual linked to above some love. It needs it. Changes compared to beta2 version * The default gateway is now 10.0.0.1/8, not 10.0.2.1/8. * A tool subnet-change is provided to change the default backbone network after installation. * The dynamic DHCP range was extended on the backbone network to around 4k IP address, and around 200 IP addresses for the thin client network. * Enable automatic extending of full file systems on the Main Server by default. This can be disabled in LDAP. * Add code to re-enable stopped CUPS queues every hour on the Main Server, and flush all CUPS queues every night. Both can be disabled in LDAP. * Add new script pxe-addfirmware to insert hardware firmware in PXE images to support more hardware models. * Provide script sitesummary2ldapdhcp to update or populate GOsa with system objects using information gathered by sitesummary, to make it easier to add new computers to the network. * Now we disable (at least some of the) non-working features in GOsa to avoid confusing system administrators. * Drop the 'localadmin' user, and ask during installation of the Main-Server for user name and password for the first user (the admin user). This user is set up as GOsa administrator, and the 'super-admin' user is no longer created, either. Also the Debian Edu menu reordering is enabled for this initial user. * Provide network blocking / exam mode by default, controlled by LDAP. This block selected hosts from accessing the Internet. In addition to network blocking, changes to the Squid proxy configuration is needed for this to be useful. * Now we provide a KDE menu entry for changing the password in GOsa. * Changing passwords using PAM is now working (by having implemented a workaround for bug #656309 in libpam-krb5). This will only update the Kerberos password, and not the Samba and GOsa(LDAP) password. * Make sure to report an error and abort the installation when trying to use the netinst images without a working Internet connection, instead of silently installing a broken system. * Change partitioning for Standalone installs, to have separate /home/ and no /usr. * Give first user on Standalone installs sudo access. * Updated documentation and translations + including images, as BTS 656846 has been fixed. The following features are not working as they should * The RDP server set up on thin-client-servers gives distorted KDE desktop at least when logging in using rdesktop (#608195). This is a bug in the VNC server. * GOsa does not clean up properly when removing a system (server/net-device) from LDAP (#650258). A patch for Debian squeeze has been sent to the Debian release team. * GOsa proposes non-functional user names for people with non-ASCII characters in their names (#657086). This issue only occurs in gosa-2.6.11 (squeeze) and a patch for Debian squeeze has been sent to the Debian release team. To download this multiarch netinstall CD release you can use * ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/squeeze-beta/debian-edu-6.0.4+edub3-CD.iso * http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/squeeze-beta/debian-edu-6.0.4+edub3-CD.iso * rsync -avzP ftp.skolelinux.org::skolelinux-cd/squeeze-beta/debian-edu-6.0.4+edub3-CD.iso To download this multiarch DVD release you can use * ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/squeeze-beta/debian-edu-6.0.4+edub3-DVD.iso * http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/squeeze-beta/debian-edu-6.0.4+edub3-DVD.iso * rsync -avzP ftp.skolelinux.org::skolelinux-cd/squeeze-beta/debian-edu-6.0.4+edub3-DVD.iso There is no source DVD available yet.

Well, unless you can document that the Debian Edu workstation get significantly faster by disabling rpc.statd, I believe it is best to leave this change to Wheezy. Ubuntu/Gnome is faster than Debian Edu/KDE is not really telling much about how rpc.statd affect performance. If you believe rpc.statd is started by mistake by the package when only NFSv4 is used, is it not better to report a bug to BTS and ask for the Debian package to be changed? Btw, I wrote wrong earlier.

There is no mechanism available to create and copy the keytabs. Perhaps this can be done with a GOsa hook, however then the client needs to be available to scp the keytab ... However, you might be able to switch kerberization on by doing the above manually and remove the sec=sys part in /etc/exports of the mainserver.

Kerberos TGT and NFS
Hi, I got Ubuntu running, nice. But IMHO it shouldn't. I don't understand the black magic I've produced by myself, about the nfs/client kerberos granting. I didn't copy nor generate any krb5.keytab for the nfs/client and although this fact nfs works. How is the TGT nfs working? Is the keytab stored i ldap? In this latter case I fear that a MAC spoof would lead to unattended mounting of clients that are not aknowledged. Do you have an explanation, a reference link?

Leaving NEED_STATD unset (as it is) in /etc/default/nfs-common would be best. And AFAIK GNOME2 is way faster than KDE4. Wolfgang signature.asc Description: Digital signature
