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