Dear Mike, I have noticed that you work on switching to NFS4+krb5 for homes on school workstations. I am very interrested to switch to similar for our university labs setup. We use Debian servers and diskless workstations in our setups.
I would be very happy if you document your setup when you have it working. The description from Mike Gabriel is the best cookbook I have seen till now for this. I have been looking for keyrings notices for years already but there has been no simple specification how to use these and what level of integration with distribution and mainline is reached. I would be extremely happy if we could use single export of all homes and protect access form individual client machines by logged in user credential. By the coincidence I have prepared some documentation for our local GNU/Linux/open-source conference InstallFest <http://www.installfest.cz/if11/> about diskless boot with readonly root and RW AUFS overlays which works quite well for us but the secured user level access control to homes is missing in our setup. May it be, something from my slides could be reused by you http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/diskless/diskless_dce_slides.pdf the configuration in form of patchseries for demonstration (not our main production) server http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/diskless/ Thanks for possible more information about your setup and experience in advance.
