  24 NUUG presentation</a> about Kerberos was inspiring, and reminded me
  25 about the need to start using Kerberos in Skolelinux.  Setting up a
  26 Kerberos server seem to be straight forward, and if we get this in
  27 place a long time before the Squeeze version of Debian freezes, we
  28 have a chance to migrate Skolelinux away from NFSv3 for the home
  29 directories, and over to an architecture where the infrastructure do
  30 not have to trust IP addresses and machines, and instead can trust
  31 users and cryptographic keys instead.</p>
  32
  33 <p>A challenge will be integration and administration.  Is there a
  34 Kerberos implementation for Debian where one can control the
  35 administration access in Kerberos using LDAP groups?  With it, the
  36 school administration will have to maintain access control using flat
  37 files on the main server, which give a huge potential for errors.</p>
  38
  39 <p>A related question I would like to know is how well Kerberos and
  40 pam-ccreds (offline password check) work together.  Anyone know?</p>
  41
  42 <p>Next step will be to use Kerberos for access control in Lwat and
  43 Nagios.  I have no idea how much work that will be to implement.  We
  44 would also need to document how to integrate with Windows AD, as such
  45 shared network will require two Kerberos realms that need to cooperate
  46 to work properly.</p>
  47
  48 <p>I believe a good start would be to start using Kerberos on the
  49 skolelinux.no machines, and this way get ourselves experience with
  50 configuration and integration.  A natural starting point would be
  51 setting up ldap.skolelinux.no as the Kerberos server, and migrate the
  52 rest of the machines from PAM via LDAP to PAM via Kerberos one at the
  53 time.</p>
  54
  55 <p>If you would like to contribute to get this working in Skolelinux,
  56 I recommend you to see the video recording from yesterdays NUUG
  57 presentation, and start using Kerberos at home.  The video show show
  58 up in a few days.</p>
