+<p>The last few months I have been working hard to get the
+Debian/Squeeze based version of Debian Edu/Skolelinux into shape.
+This future version will use Kerberos for authentication, and services
+are slowly migrated to single sign, getting rid of password questions
+one at the time.</p>
+
+<p>It will also feature a roaming workstation profile with local home
+directory, for laptops that are only some times on the Skolelinux
+network, and for this profile a shortcut is created in Gnome and KDE
+to gain access to the users home directory on the file server. This
+shortcut uses SMB at the moment, and yesterday I had time to test if
+SMB mounting had started working in KDE after we added the cifs-utils
+package. I was surprised how well it worked.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to the recent changes to our samba configuration to get it
+to use Kerberos for authentication, there were no question about user
+password when mounting the SMB volume. A simple click on the shortcut
+in the KDE menu, and a window with the home directory popped
+up. :)</p>
+
+<p>One step closer to a single signon solution out of the box in
+Debian Edu. We already had PAM, LDAP, IMAP and SMTP in place, and now
+also Samba. Next step is Cups and hopefully also NFS.</p>
+
+<p>We had planned a alpha0 release of Debian Edu for today, but thanks
+to the autobuilder administrators for some architectures being slow to
+sign packages, we are still missing the fixed LTSP package we need for
+the release. It was uploaded three days ago with urgency=high, and if
+it had entered testing yesterday we would have been able to test it in
+time for a alpha0 release today. As the binaries for ia64 and powerpc
+still not uploaded to the Debian archive, we need to delay the alpha
+release another day.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to help out with implementing Kerberos for Debian Edu,
+please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.</p>
