we adjusted some details of the configuration, but mostly we ran
into various "woody-is-not-really-up-to-the-task" problems

> - fix (together with finnarne) the samba ldap structure

spend a day on that to learn that no fix was expected and that
the germans had not even bothered to supply us with further
information yet.

> - if time permits, check out the kerberos configuration by
>   Maximilian and Aktur.

still not gotten around to that.

further more i did
- upload webmin-ldap-netgroups to the debian archive.
- worked quite a bit on cerebrum issues: 
  - the password handling is now in debconf and should be secure
  - all changes are in the main cvs, either as patches or checked
    in
  - more config work to get both job_runner and bofhd working
  - friendly enquiry about the cerebrum development problems
    (this is still unanswered, but some changes started popping
    up in cvs. this promises to improve the quality of cerebrum
    immensly and could make it usable (as far as we are concerned).
- some organizing for the devcamp in oldenburg
- some more organizing for travel to oslo (aparently without
  roland now)
- tax authority dance
- research progress bars for user generation in wlus. it does not
  sound easy.


in week 34 i plan to
- improve the cerebrum package some more.
- supply a patch for upstream`s fix_ldif (in the debain openldap
  package), as requested by the openldap maintainers.
- install afs and kerberos on my home server and get some feeling
  for it.
