                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;Today, the last piece of the puzzle for roaming laptops in Debian
-Edu finally entered the Debian archive.  Today, the new
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/libp/libpam-mklocaluser.html&quot;&gt;libpam-mklocaluser&lt;/a&gt;
-package was accepted.  Two days ago, two other pieces was accepted
-into unstable.  The
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pam-python.html&quot;&gt;pam-python&lt;/a&gt;
-package needed by libpam-mklocaluser, and the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sssd.html&quot;&gt;sssd&lt;/a&gt; package
-passed NEW on Monday.  In addition, the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/libp/libpam-ccreds.html&quot;&gt;libpam-ccreds&lt;/a&gt;
-package we need is in experimental (version 10-4) since Saturday, and
-hopefully will be moved to unstable soon.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This collection of packages allow for two different setups for
-roaming laptops.  The traditional setup would be using libpam-ccreds,
-nscd and libpam-mklocaluser with LDAP or Kerberos authentication,
-which should work out of the box if the configuration changes proposed
-for nscd in &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/485282&quot;&gt;BTS report
-#485282&lt;/a&gt; is implemented.  The alternative setup is to use sssd with
-libpam-mklocaluser to connect to LDAP or Kerberos and let sssd take
-care of the caching of passwords and group information.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I have so far been unable to get sssd to work with the LDAP server
-at the University, but suspect the issue is some SSL/GnuTLS related
-problem with the server certificate.  I plan to update the Debian
-package to version 1.2, which is scheduled for next week, and hope to
-find time to make sure the next release will include both the
-Debian/Ubuntu specific patches.  Upstream is friendly and responsive,
-and I am sure we will find a good solution.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The idea is to set up the roaming laptops to authenticate using
-LDAP or Kerberos and create a local user with home directory in /home/
-when a usre in LDAP logs in via KDM or GDM for the first time, and
-cache the password for offline checking, as well as caching group
-memberhips and other relevant LDAP information.  The
-libpam-mklocaluser package was created to make sure the local home
-directory is in /home/, instead of /site/server/directory/ which would
-be the home directory if pam_mkhomedir was used.  To avoid confusion
-with support requests and configuration, we do not want local laptops
-to have users in a path that is used for the same users home directory
-on the home directory servers.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;One annoying problem with gdm is that it do not show the PAM
-message passed to the user from libpam-mklocaluser when the local user
-is created.  Instead gdm simply reject the login with some generic
-message.  The message is shown in kdm, ssh and login, so I guess it is
-a bug in gdm.  Have not investigated if there is some other message
-type that can be used instead to get gdm to also show the message.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to help out with implementing this for Debian Edu,
-please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Frikanalen og NUUG jobber for å få &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com&quot;&gt;TED
+talks&lt;/a&gt; kringkastet på
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, for å gi et mer
+variert innhold på kanalen som i dag sendes på RiksTV, Lyse og
+Uninett.  Før innslagene kan sendes må det lages norske undertekster,
+og dette her trengs det frivillige.  Det er hundrevis av innslag, men
+mine favoritter er
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/james_randi.html&quot;&gt;James Randi&lt;/a&gt; og
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/michael_specter_the_danger_of_science_denial.html&quot;&gt;Michael
+Specter&lt;/a&gt;.  Hvis du har litt tid til overs, bli med på å oversette
+TED-foredragene til norsk og få på plass undertekster.  TED har
+allerede opplegg på plass for å håndtere oversettelser og
+undertekster.  Registrer deg på
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/translate/forted&quot;&gt;sidene til TED&lt;/a&gt; i
+dag!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;NUUG holder også på å få alle opptakene fra NUUG-presentasjonene
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/pub/video/frikanalen/frontpage.cgi?organization=NUUG&quot;&gt;publisert
+på Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;.  Foredrag på engelsk må også her tekstes og
+oversettes.  Ta kontakt med video@nuug.no hvis du vil bidra med
+teksting og oversetting.  Arbeidet koordineres på epostlisten og på
+IRC (#nuug-video på irc.oftc.org), og &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/video/frikanalen&quot;&gt;en wikiside&lt;/a&gt;
+brukes som notatblokk for arbeidet.  Mest lovende verktøy for dette
+ser i dag ut til å være
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://universalsubtitles.org/&quot;&gt;Universal Subtitles&lt;/a&gt;, som
+lar en bidra med teksting via en nettleser.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Since this evening, parallel booting is the default in
-Debian/unstable for machines using dependency based boot sequencing.
-Apparently the testing of concurrent booting has been wider than
-expected, if I am to believe the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg00122.html&quot;&gt;input
-on debian-devel@&lt;/a&gt;, and I concluded a few days ago to move forward
-with the feature this weekend, to give us some time to detect any
-remaining problems before Squeeze is frozen.  If serious problems are
-detected, it is simple to change the default back to sequential boot.
-The upload of the new sysvinit package also activate a new upstream
-version.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-More information about
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot&quot;&gt;dependency
-based boot sequencing&lt;/a&gt; is available from the Debian wiki.  It is
-currently possible to disable parallel booting when one run into
-problems caused by it, by adding this line to /etc/default/rcS:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-CONCURRENCY=none
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you report any problems with dependencies in init.d scripts to
-the BTS, please usertag the report to get it to show up at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;the
-list of usertagged bugs related to this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg er med i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bilkollektivet.no/&quot;&gt;Bilkollektivet&lt;/a&gt; her i Oslo,
+og har inntil i dag vært fornøyd med opplegget.  I dag kom det brev
+fra bilkollektivet, der de forteller om nytt webopplegg og nye
+rutiner, og at de har tenkt å angripe min rett til å ferdes anonymt
+som bruker av Bilkollektivet.  Det gjorde meg virkelig trist å
+lese.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Brevet datert 2010-09-16 forteller at Bilkollektivet har tenkt å gå
+over til biler med &quot;bilcomputer&quot; og innebygget sporings-GPS som lar
+administrasjonen i bilkollektivet se hvor bilene er til en hver tid,
+noe som betyr at de også kan se hvor jeg kjører når jeg bruker
+Bilkollektivet.
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Anonym_ferdsel_er_en_menneskerett.html&quot;&gt;Retten
+til å ferdes anonymt&lt;/a&gt; er som tidligere nevnt viktig for meg, og jeg
+finner det uakseptabelt å måtte godta å bli radiomerket for å kunne
+bruke bil.  Har ikke satt meg inn i hva som er historien for denne
+endringen, så jeg vet ikke om det er godkjent av
+f.eks. andelseiermøtet.  Ser at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bilkollektivet.no/bilbruksregler.26256.no.html&quot;&gt;nye
+bilbruksregler&lt;/a&gt; med følgende klausul ble vedtatt av styret
+2010-08-26:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andelseier er med dette gjort kjent med at bilene er
+utstyrt med sporingsutstyr, som kan benyttes av Bilkollektivet til å
+spore biler som brukes utenfor gyldig reservasjon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For meg er det prinsipielt uakseptabelt av Bilkollektivet å skaffe
+seg muligheten til å se hvor jeg befinner meg, og det er underordnet
+når informasjonen blir brukt og hvem som får tilgang til den.  Får se
+om jeg har energi til å forsøke å endre planene til Bilkollektivet
+eller bare ser meg om etter alternativer.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;In the recent Debian Edu versions, the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/SiteSummary&quot;&gt;sitesummary
-system&lt;/a&gt; is used to keep track of the machines in the school
-network.  Each machine will automatically report its status to the
-central server after boot and once per night.  The network setup is
-also reported, and using this information it is possible to get the
-MAC address of all network interfaces in the machines.  This is useful
-to update the DHCP configuration.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To give some idea how to use sitesummary, here is a one-liner to
-ist all MAC addresses of all machines reporting to sitesummary.  Run
-this on the collector host:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-perl -MSiteSummary -e &#39;for_all_hosts(sub { print join(&quot; &quot;, get_macaddresses(shift)), &quot;\n&quot;; });&#39;
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This will list all MAC addresses assosiated with all machine, one
-line per machine and with space between the MAC addresses.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To allow system administrators easier job at adding static DHCP
-addresses for hosts, it would be possible to extend this to fetch
-machine information from sitesummary and update the DHCP and DNS
-tables in LDAP using this information.  Such tool is unfortunately not
-written yet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;For ca. et og et halvt år siden
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Kart_over_overv__kningskamera_i_Norge.html&quot;&gt;startet
+jeg på et kart over overvåkningskamera i Norge&lt;/a&gt;, i regi av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.personvern.no/&quot;&gt;personvernforeningen&lt;/a&gt;.  Det har
+blitt oppdatert regelmessing, og jeg oppdaterte det nettopp.  Fra den
+spede start med 22 kamera registrert er det nå registrert 54 kamera.
+Det er bare en brøkdel av de kamera som finnes i Norge, men det går
+sakte men sikkert i riktig retning.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Informasjonen registreres fortsatt direkte inn i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetmap&lt;/a&gt;, og hentes
+automatisk over i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.no/pere/surveillance-norway/&quot;&gt;spesialkartet&lt;/a&gt;
+når jeg kjører et script for å filtrere ut overvåkningskamera fra
+OSM-dumpen for Norge.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;The last few days a new boot system called
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd&quot;&gt;systemd&lt;/a&gt;
-has been
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html&quot;&gt;introduced&lt;/a&gt;
-
-to the free software world.  I have not yet had time to play around
-with it, but it seem to be a very interesting alternative to
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://upstart.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;upstart&lt;/a&gt;, and might prove to be
-a good alternative for Debian when we are able to switch to an event
-based boot system.  Tollef is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/580814&quot;&gt;in the process&lt;/a&gt; of getting
-systemd into Debian, and I look forward to seeing how well it work.  I
-like the fact that systemd handles init.d scripts with dependency
-information natively, allowing them to run in parallel where upstart
-at the moment do not.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately do systemd have the same problem as upstart regarding
-platform support.  It only work on recent Linux kernels, and also need
-some new kernel features enabled to function properly.  This means
-kFreeBSD and Hurd ports of Debian will need a port or a different boot
-system.  Not sure how that will be handled if systemd proves to be the
-way forward.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In the mean time, based on the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg00122.html&quot;&gt;input
-on debian-devel@&lt;/a&gt; regarding parallel booting in Debian, I have
-decided to enable full parallel booting as the default in Debian as
-soon as possible (probably this weekend or early next week), to see if
-there are any remaining serious bugs in the init.d dependencies.  A
-new version of the sysvinit package implementing this change is
-already in experimental.  If all go well, Squeeze will be released
-with parallel booting enabled by default.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Debatten rundt sporveiselskapet i Oslos (Ruter AS) ønske om
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3808135.ece&quot;&gt;å
+radiomerke med RFID&lt;/a&gt; alle sine kunder og
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/article3809746.ece&quot;&gt;registerere
+hvor hver og en av oss beveger oss&lt;/a&gt; pågår, og en ting som har
+kommet lite frem i debatten er at det faktisk er en menneskerett å
+kunne ferdes anonymt internt i ens eget land.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Fant en grei kilde for dette i et
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.datatilsynet.no/upload/Microsoft%20Word%20-%2009-01399-2%20H+%C2%A9ringsnotat%20-%20Samferdselsdepartementet%20-%20Utkas%C3%94%C3%87%C2%AA.pdf&quot;&gt;skriv
+fra Datatilsynet&lt;/a&gt; til Samferdselsdepartementet om tema:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Retten til å ferdes anonymt kan utledes av
+menneskerettskonvensjonen artikkel 8 og av EUs personverndirektiv.
+Her heter det at enkeltpersoners grunnleggende rettigheter og frihet
+må respekteres, særlig retten til privatlivets fred.  I både
+personverndirektivet og i den norske personopplysningsloven er
+selvråderetten til hver enkelt et av grunnprinsippene, hovedsaklig
+uttrykt ved at en må gi et frivillig, informert og uttrykkelig
+samtykke til behandling av personopplysninger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For meg er det viktig at jeg kan ferdes anonymt, og det er litt av
+bakgrunnen til at jeg handler med kontanter, ikke har mobiltelefon og
+forventer å kunne reise med bil og kollektivtrafikk uten at det blir
+registrert hvor jeg har vært.  Ruter angriper min rett til å ferdes
+uten radiopeiler med sin innføring av RFID-kort, og dokumenterer sitt
+ønske om å registrere hvor kundene befant seg ved å ønske å gebyrlegge
+oss som ikke registrerer oss hver gang vi beveger oss med
+kollektivtrafikken i Oslo.  Jeg synes det er hårreisende.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;These days, the init.d script dependencies in Squeeze are quite
-complete, so complete that it is actually possible to run all the
-init.d scripts in parallell based on these dependencies.  If you want
-to test your Squeeze system, make sure
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot&quot;&gt;dependency
-based boot sequencing&lt;/a&gt; is enabled, and add this line to
-/etc/default/rcS:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-CONCURRENCY=makefile
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;That is it.  It will cause sysv-rc to use the startpar tool to run
-scripts in parallel using the dependency information stored in
-/etc/init.d/.depend.boot, /etc/init.d/.depend.start and
-/etc/init.d/.depend.stop to order the scripts.  Startpar is configured
-to try to start the kdm and gdm scripts as early as possible, and will
-start the facilities required by kdm or gdm as early as possible to
-make this happen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Give it a try, and see if you like the result.  If some services
-fail to start properly, it is most likely because they have incomplete
-init.d script dependencies in their startup script (or some of their
-dependent scripts have incomplete dependencies).  Report bugs and get
-the package maintainers to fix it. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Running scripts in parallel could be the default in Debian when we
-manage to get the init.d script dependencies complete and correct.  I
-expect we will get there in Squeeze+1, if we get manage to test and
-fix the remaining issues.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you report any problems with dependencies in init.d scripts to
-the BTS, please usertag the report to get it to show up at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;the
-list of usertagged bugs related to this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;A few days ago I had the mixed pleasure of bying a new digital
+camera, a Canon IXUS 130.  It was instructive and very disturbing to
+be able to verify that also this camera producer have the nerve to
+specify how I can or can not use the videos produced with the camera.
+Even thought I was aware of the issue, the options with new cameras
+are limited and I ended up bying the camera anyway.  What is the
+problem, you might ask?  It is software patents, MPEG-4, H.264 and the
+MPEG-LA that is the problem, and our right to record our experiences
+without asking for permissions that is at risk.
+
+&lt;p&gt;On page 27 of the Danish instruction manual, this section is
+written:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This product is licensed under AT&amp;T patents for the MPEG-4 standard

+
+&lt;p&gt;No license is granted or implied for any other use for MPEG-4

+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In short, the camera producer have chosen to use technology
+(MPEG-4/H.264) that is only provided if I used it for personal and
+non-commercial purposes, or ask for permission from the organisations
+holding the knowledge monopoly (patent) for technology used.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;One interesting feature in Active Directory, is the ability to
-create a new user with an expired password, and thus force the user to
-change the password on the first login attempt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m not quite sure how to do that with the LDAP setup in Debian
-Edu, but did some initial testing with a local account.  The account
-and password aging information is available in /etc/shadow, but
-unfortunately, it is not possible to specify an expiration time for
-passwords, only a maximum age for passwords.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A freshly created account (using adduser test) will have these
-settings in /etc/shadow:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-root@tjener:~# chage -l test
-Last password change                                    : May 02, 2010
-Password expires                                        : never
-Password inactive                                       : never
-Account expires                                         : never
-Minimum number of days between password change          : 0
-Maximum number of days between password change          : 99999
-Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7
-root@tjener:~#
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The only way I could come up with to create a user with an expired
-account, is to change the date of the last password change to the
-lowest value possible (January 1th 1970), and the maximum password age
-to the difference in days between that date and today.  To make it
-simple, I went for 30 years (30 * 365 = 10950) and January 2th (to
-avoid testing if 0 is a valid value).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After using these commands to set it up, it seem to work as
-intended:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-root@tjener:~# chage -d 1 test; chage -M 10950 test
-root@tjener:~# chage -l test
-Last password change                                    : Jan 02, 1970
-Password expires                                        : never
-Password inactive                                       : never
-Account expires                                         : never
-Minimum number of days between password change          : 0
-Maximum number of days between password change          : 10950
-Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7
-root@tjener:~#  
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So far I have tested this with ssh and console, and kdm (in
-Squeeze) login, and all ask for a new password before login in the
-user (with ssh, I was thrown out and had to log in again).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Perhaps we should set up something similar for Debian Edu, to make
-sure only the user itself have the account password?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to comment on or help out with implementing this for
-Debian Edu, please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-05-02 17:20: Paul Tötterman tells me on IRC that the
-shadow(8) page in Debian/testing now state that setting the date of
-last password change to zero (0) will force the password to be changed
-on the first login.  This was not mentioned in the manual in Lenny, so
-I did not notice this in my initial testing.  I have tested it on
-Squeeze, and &#39;&lt;tt&gt;chage -d 0 username&lt;/tt&gt;&#39; do work there.  I have not
-tested it on Lenny yet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-05-02-19:05: Jim Paris tells me via email that an
-equivalent command to expire a password is &#39;&lt;tt&gt;passwd -e
-username&lt;/tt&gt;&#39;, which insert zero into the date of the last password
-change.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble riktig fascinert av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3800967.ece&quot;&gt;en
+artikkel i Aftenposten&lt;/a&gt; om hvor hardt Navteq jobber for å oppdatere
+kartene som brukes i navigasjons-GPSer, der det blant annet heter at
+&quot;på grunn av teknikken tar det alt fra tre til tolv måneder før
+kartene er oppdatert&quot;.  Når en kjenner hva slags oppdateringshastighet
+som er tilgjengelig på
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetmap&lt;/a&gt; som
+oppdateres på dugnad, blir det litt trist å se hva noe av det beste en
+kan kjøpe for penger får til.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Fra en endrer kartdataene i databasen til OpenStreetmap tar det
+ca. 15 minutter før endringen er synlig på kartet som alle kan se på
+web.  Dernest overføres det daglig til en kartdump som lastes ned av
+personen som lager Garmin-kart for Norge ca. en gang i uken.  Med
+OpenStreetmap.org og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikart.no/&quot;&gt;Frikart.no&lt;/a&gt;
+kan en altså ha korreksjonene på plass i sin Garmin-GPS i løpet av en
+uke.  Det er også av tekniske årsaker at det tar så langt tid.
+Jobbene som tegner kartene, henter ut kartdumpene og konverterer til
+Garmin-format tar minutter og timer å gjennomføre, slik at de ikke
+gjøres kontinuerlig men kun regelmessing.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>
                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;For some years now, I have wondered how we should handle laptops in
-Debian Edu.  The Debian Edu infrastructure is mostly designed to
-handle stationary computers, and less suited for computers that come
-and go.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Now I finally believe I have an sensible idea on how to adjust
-Debian Edu for laptops, by introducing a new profile for them, for
-example called Roaming Workstations.  Here are my thought on this.
-The setup would consist of the following:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;During installation, the user name of the owner / primary user of
-   the laptop is requested and a local home directory is set up for
-   the user, with uid and gid information fetched from the LDAP
-   server.  This allow the user to work also when offline.  The
-   central home directory can be available in a subdirectory on
-   request, for example mounted via CIFS.  It could be mounted
-   automatically when a user log in while on the Debian Edu network,
-   and unmounted when the machine is taken away (network down,
-   hibernate, etc), it can be set up to do automatic mounting on
-   request (using autofs), or perhaps some GUI button on the desktop
-   can be used to access it when needed.  Perhaps it is enough to use
-   the fish protocol in KDE?&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;Password checking is set up to use LDAP or Kerberos
-   authentication when the machine is on the Debian Edu network, and
-   to cache the password for offline checking when the machine unable
-   to reach the LDAP or Kerberos server.  This can be done using
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.padl.com/OSS/pam_ccreds.html&quot;&gt;libpam-ccreds&lt;/a&gt;
-   or the Fedora developed
-   &lt;a href=&quot;https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SSSD&quot;&gt;System
-   Security Services Daemon&lt;/a&gt; packages.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;File synchronisation with the central home directory is set up
-   using a shared directory in both the local and the central home
-   directory, using unison.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;Printing should be set up to print to all printers broadcasting
-   their existence on the local network, and should then work out of
-   the box with CUPS.  For sites needing accurate printer quotas, some
-   system with Kerberos authentication or printing via ssh could be
-   implemented.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;For users that should have local root access to their laptop,
-   sudo should be used to allow this to the local user.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;It would be nice if user and group information from LDAP is
-   cached on the client, but given that there are entries for the
-   local user and primary group in /etc/, it should not be needed.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I believe all the pieces to implement this are in Debian/testing at
-the moment.  If we work quickly, we should be able to get this ready
-in time for the Squeeze release to freeze.  Some of the pieces need
-tweaking, like libpam-ccreds should get support for pam-auth-update
-(&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/566718&quot;&gt;#566718&lt;/a&gt;) and nslcd (or
-perhaps debian-edu-config) should get some integration code to stop
-its daemon when the LDAP server is unavailable to avoid long timeouts
-when disconnected from the net.  If we get Kerberos enabled, we need
-to make sure we avoid long timeouts there too.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to help out with implementing this for Debian Edu,
-please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_vote&quot;&gt;Debian
+popularity-contest numbers&lt;/a&gt;, the adobe-flashplugin package the
+second most popular used package that is missing in Debian.  The sixth
+most popular is flashplayer-mozilla.  This is a clear indication that
+working flash is important for Debian users.  Around 10 percent of the
+users submitting data to popcon.debian.org have this package
+installed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the report written by Lars Risan in August 2008
+(«&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.skolelinux.no/Dokumentasjon/Rapporter?action=AttachFile&amp;do=view&amp;target=Skolelinux_i_bruk_rapport_1.0.pdf&quot;&gt;Skolelinux
+i bruk – Rapport for Hurum kommune, Universitetet i Agder og
+stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs&lt;/a&gt;»), one of the most important problems
+schools experienced with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian
+Edu/Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; was the lack of working Flash.  A lot of educational
+web sites require Flash to work, and lacking working Flash support in
+the web browser and the problems with installing it was perceived as a
+good reason to stay with Windows.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I once saw a funny and sad comment in a web forum, where Linux was
+said to be the retarded cousin that did not really understand
+everything you told him but could work fairly well.  This was a
+comment regarding the problems Linux have with proprietary formats and
+non-standard web pages, and is sad because it exposes a fairly common
+understanding of whose fault it is if web pages that only work in for
+example Internet Explorer 6 fail to work on Firefox, and funny because
+it explain very well how annoying it is for users when Linux
+distributions do not work with the documents they receive or the web
+pages they want to visit.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is part of the reason why I believe it is important for Debian
+and Debian Edu to have a well working Flash implementation in the
+distribution, to get at least popular sites as Youtube and Google
+Video to working out of the box.  For Squeeze, Debian have the chance
+to include the latest version of Gnash that will make this happen, as
+the new release 0.8.8 was published a few weeks ago and is resting in
+unstable.  The new version work with more sites that version 0.8.7.
+The Gnash maintainers have asked for a freeze exception, but the
+release team have not had time to reply to it yet.  I hope they agree
+with me that Flash is important for the Debian desktop users, and thus
+accept the new package into Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>
                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;The last few weeks i have had the pleasure of reading a
-thought-provoking collection of essays by Cory Doctorow, on topics
-touching copyright, virtual worlds, the future of man when the
-conscience mind can be duplicated into a computer and many more. The
-book titled &quot;Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity,
-Copyright, and the Future of the Future&quot; is available with few
-restrictions on the web, for example from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://craphound.com/content/&quot;&gt;his own site&lt;/a&gt;. I read the
-epub-version from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2883&quot;&gt;feedbooks&lt;/a&gt; using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fbreader.org/&quot;&gt;fbreader&lt;/a&gt; and my N810. I
-strongly recommend this book.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This evening I made my first Perl GUI application.  The last few
+days I have worked on a Perl module for controlling my recently
+aquired Spykee robots, and the module is now getting complete enought
+that it is possible to use it to control the robot driving at least.
+It was now time to figure out how to use it to create some GUI to
+allow me to drive the robot around.  I picked PerlQt as I have had
+positive experiences with the Qt API before, and spent a few minutes
+browsing the web for examples.  Using Qt Designer seemed like a short
+cut, so I ended up writing the perl GUI using Qt Designer and
+compiling it into a perl program using the puic program from
+libqt-perl.  Nothing fancy yet, but it got buttons to connect and
+drive around.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The perl module I have written provide a object oriented API for
+controlling the robot.  Here is an small example on how to use it:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+use Spykee;
+Spykee::discover(sub {$robot{$_[0]} = $_[1]});
+my $host = (keys %robot)[0];
+my $spykee = Spykee-&gt;new();
+$spykee-&gt;contact($host, &quot;admin&quot;, &quot;admin&quot;);
+$spykee-&gt;left();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;right();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;forward();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;back();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;stop();
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Thanks to the release of the source of the robot firmware, I could
+peek into the implementation at the other end to figure out how to
+implement the protocol used by the robot.  I&#39;ve implemented several of
+the commands the robot understand, but is still missing the camera
+support to make it possible to control the robot from remote.  First I
+want to implement support for uploading new firmware and configuring
+the wireless network, to make it possible to bootstrap a Spykee robot
+without the producers Windows and MacOSX software (I only have Linux,
+so I had to ask a friend to come over to get the robot testing
+going. :).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Will release the source to the public soon, but need to figure out
+where to make it available first.  I will add a link to 
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/robot/&quot;&gt;the NUUG wiki&lt;/a&gt; for
+those that want to check back later to find it.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20100413-kerberos/&quot;&gt;Yesterdays
-NUUG presentation&lt;/a&gt; about Kerberos was inspiring, and reminded me
-about the need to start using Kerberos in Skolelinux.  Setting up a
-Kerberos server seem to be straight forward, and if we get this in
-place a long time before the Squeeze version of Debian freezes, we
-have a chance to migrate Skolelinux away from NFSv3 for the home
-directories, and over to an architecture where the infrastructure do
-not have to trust IP addresses and machines, and instead can trust
-users and cryptographic keys instead.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A challenge will be integration and administration.  Is there a
-Kerberos implementation for Debian where one can control the
-administration access in Kerberos using LDAP groups?  With it, the
-school administration will have to maintain access control using flat
-files on the main server, which give a huge potential for errors.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A related question I would like to know is how well Kerberos and
-pam-ccreds (offline password check) work together.  Anyone know?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Next step will be to use Kerberos for access control in Lwat and
-Nagios.  I have no idea how much work that will be to implement.  We
-would also need to document how to integrate with Windows AD, as such
-shared network will require two Kerberos realms that need to cooperate
-to work properly.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I believe a good start would be to start using Kerberos on the
-skolelinux.no machines, and this way get ourselves experience with
-configuration and integration.  A natural starting point would be
-setting up ldap.skolelinux.no as the Kerberos server, and migrate the
-rest of the machines from PAM via LDAP to PAM via Kerberos one at the
-time.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you would like to contribute to get this working in Skolelinux,
-I recommend you to see the video recording from yesterdays NUUG
-presentation, and start using Kerberos at home.  The video show show
-up in a few days.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Ble tipset i dag om at et forslag om å stoppe forsøkene med
+elektronisk stemmegiving utenfor valglokaler er
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/?p=46616&quot;&gt;til
+behandling&lt;/a&gt; i Stortinget.
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/Global/pdf/Representantforslag/2009-2010/dok8-200910-128.pdf&quot;&gt;Forslaget&lt;/a&gt;
+er fremmet av Erna Solberg, Michael Tetzschner og Trond Helleland.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Håper det får flertall.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fotball.aftenposten.no/incoming/article163000.ece&quot;&gt;Aftenposten
-melder&lt;/a&gt; på forsiden av webavisen sin at de tror Erling Fossen
-provoserer nordlendinger med sine uttalelser på
-fotballtinget.  Jeg er utflyttet nordlending, og må innrømme at jeg
-ikke kjennet så mye som et snev av provokasjon fra denne litt morsomme
-uttalelsen til Hr. Fossen.  Lurer på om Aftenposten har noen kilder
-utenom redaksjonen for sin påstand om at nordledinger er provosert av
-Hr. Fossen.  Må innrømme at jeg tviler på det.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det hele bringer tankene tilbake til Sture Hansen i Hallo i Uken.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Just got an email from Tobias Gruetzmacher as a followup on my
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Broken_umask_handling_with_sshfs.html&quot;&gt;previous
+post about sshfs&lt;/a&gt;.  He reported another problem with sshfs.  It
+fail to handle hard links properly.  A simple way to spot this is to
+look at the . and .. entries in the directory tree.  These should have
+a link count &gt;1, but on sshfs the count is 1.  I just tested to see
+what happen when trying to hardlink, and this fail as well:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+% ln foo bar
+ln: creating hard link `bar&#39; =&gt; `foo&#39;: Function not implemented
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have not yet found time to implement a test for this in my file
+system test code, but believe having working hard links is useful to
+avoid surprised unix programs.  Not as useful as working file locking
+and symlinks, which are required to get a working desktop, but useful
+nevertheless. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The latest version of the file system test code is available via
+git from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/gebi/fs-test&quot;&gt;http://github.com/gebi/fs-test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
