Yes. I will document this if you can tell me how long the pw must be. Something I forgot to mention, is that the welcome/configuration page on tjener needs English fixes. How do I do that? cheers Nigel install-errors Description: Binary data

[Nigel barker] > attached. I also included warnings. I suppose the memory error means > something went wrong with the install? Not really. I believe the "memory error" just is DMI reporting that you have error correcting ram. The only errors (you grepped for error, not error:) are these: error: ./cups: URL 'https://www:631/' is not working. error: ./cups: URL 'https://localhost:631/' is not working. error: ./doc: Release manual have 14 FIXMEs. Please fix at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy . error: ./nagios: Nagios count NUMSVCCRIT is not zero but 1. Nagios is probably discovering that you lack Internet connection. Not sure why cups is complaining. Look like an old error we fixed a while back. > Yes. I will document this if you can tell me how long the pw must be. I had a look in tools/kerberos-kdc-init, and there kadmin.local -q "addpol -minlength 5 users" is called. I believe this mean that the passwords must be at least 5 characters long.

I believe that your described network architecture causes the problems. (two times tjener with same ip). IMO a test network should be separated from your existing network using a gateway, one nic with IP 10.0.0.1 attached to a switch connected to the new tjener main network, the other one attached to a thin client net of the old tjener with a fixed IP like 192.168.0.5 (configured in old tjener's LDAP with GOsa²) and nat enabled on this gateway. Test clients could be attached to the new tjener's main network, if you lack network components. To test the new network only in itself, just attach the new jener (nic with IP 10.0.2.2) and a client to a separate switch. Wolfgang signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Installing new workstation
Hi. How to add a workstation to a tjener server - not a terminal or a diskless workstation? I just did a plain (skole squeeze based) installation to hard disk - but there's still my old problem with "no home directory found". The workstation is connected to the main network. For installation I chose "workstation" in the text mode installer. DHCP is working and I can ping tjener. So I suspect there's something wrong with adding the Workstation to gosa²: do I need to assign the workstation's IP from a special IP range - or is the default 10.0.2.x good? Which NIS groups must the machine belong to? How to add a new workstation to gosa²?

Re: Is sshfs usable and sensible as home directory file system?
[Wolfgang Schweer] > By default, LTSP in wheezy uses LDM for diskless workstations. So > sshfs is used to access home dirs -- same as with thin clients. This comment made me believe that LTSP in Debian Edu Wheezy used sshfs to access user home directories, and that we no longer needed to add diskless workstations to DNS and the workstation-hosts netgroup. But I was wrong. Our LTSP setup still uses NFSv4 to mount home directories, and it is impossible to log in if the machine isn't registered in GOSA and added to DNS, DHCP and the workstation-hosts netgroup. So I wonder, are you talking about some non-edu setup above, or is there something wrong with my setup compared to your setup? Perhaps we should switch to sshfs in Debian Edu? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Perhaps we should > switch to sshfs in Debian Edu? I'll have another look at LTSP clients soon. A few weeks ago it was as stated above, iirc. It was default Debian Edu setup.

I connected the ipcop to the 192 interface of ltspserver01 (which just happens to be right next to my test bench), and now everything is working properly. No configuration required, because I have dhcp on the external NIC of the ipcop. Thanks Nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

hardware advice
Dear All, I am in the unusual situation of being able to perform a major-ish upgrade, and I was hoping someone could give me some tips. Our school has less than 100 computers, and probably an equal number of wireless devices. The maximum concurrent users is probably 50. At the moment everything slows down waiting for tjener. (lenny on a 2GHZ opteron 64 with 2GB and one 7200 sata drive of 500GB, which is half full) 1. switches are currently 100Mbps. Should I upgrade them? 2. tjener. a) I'm thinking of going with raid0 for home0. What do you think? b) I can probably get a low end xeon (single socket). Is it better to use the money to get a higher-spec core i5 or i7 instead? If anyone has recommendations based on small schools they are familiar with, please let me know.
