-NUUG presentation</a> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>A related question I would like to know is how well Kerberos and
-pam-ccreds (offline password check) work together. Anyone know?</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>

- <description><p>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 "Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity,
-Copyright, and the Future of the Future" is available with few
-restrictions on the web, for example from
-<a href="http://craphound.com/content/">his own site</a>. I read the
-epub-version from
-<a href="http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2883">feedbooks</a> using
-<a href="http://www.fbreader.org/">fbreader</a> and my N810. I
-strongly recommend this book.</p>
