  24       <div class="date">25th July 2010</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>The last few months me and the other Debian Edu developers have
  26 been working hard to get the Debian/Squeeze based version of Debian
  27 Edu/Skolelinux into shape.  This future version will use Kerberos for
  28 authentication, and services are slowly migrated to single signon,
  29 getting rid of password questions one at the time.</p>
  30
  31 <p>It will also feature a roaming workstation profile with local home
  32 directory, for laptops that are only some times on the Skolelinux
  33 network, and for this profile a shortcut is created in Gnome and KDE
  34 to gain access to the users home directory on the file server.  This
  35 shortcut uses SMB at the moment, and yesterday I had time to test if
  36 SMB mounting had started working in KDE after we added the cifs-utils
  37 package.  I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked.</p>
  38
  39 <p>Thanks to the recent changes to our samba configuration to get it
  40 to use Kerberos for authentication, there were no question about user
  41 password when mounting the SMB volume.  A simple click on the shortcut
  42 in the KDE menu, and a window with the home directory popped
  43 up. :)</p>
  44
  45 <p>One step closer to a single signon solution out of the box in
  46 Debian Edu.  We already had PAM, LDAP, IMAP and SMTP in place, and now
  47 also Samba.  Next step is Cups and hopefully also NFS.</p>
  48
  49 <p>We had planned a alpha0 release of Debian Edu for today, but thanks
  50 to the autobuilder administrators for some architectures being slow to
  51 sign packages, we are still missing the fixed LTSP package we need for
  52 the release.  It was uploaded three days ago with urgency=high, and if
  53 it had entered testing yesterday we would have been able to test it in
  54 time for a alpha0 release today.  As the binaries for ia64 and powerpc
  55 still not uploaded to the Debian archive, we need to delay the alpha
  56 release another day.</p>
  57
  58 <p>If you want to help out with implementing Kerberos for Debian Edu,
  59 please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.</p>
