Request for SVN access
Hello,
About ourselves:
Our company, Eduwijs, does different things, among them are network
installation and management. Further we do web and mail hosting,
installation of CMS's, customizing CMS's, writing new websites and web
applications. We are currently developing a new standard Linux server
for a project in Africa, for a low-power and low-license-cost network
for use in a school/internet-cafe combination. Next to this the
webserver will also be used in the Netherlands for small and
medium-sized companies.
We started our own (internal) project for this purpose, but we've come
to the conclusion that we can better contribute to
skolelinux/debian-edu, as our goals are quite common and the
intellectual property of our own network wouldn't be quite usefull anyway.
About our intended contribution(and comments) to the project:
- The domain name is not configurable in the default installer, for the
company networks it is a but strange to login to domain "SKOLELINUX".
- We'd like to add openvpn support with an openvpn ldap connection.
- Maybe some additional kernel modules for security. (exec-shield etc)
- Samba shares management, with rights etc.
- Make the username manual, this makes it easier for users to remember.
- The "class" system is not very usable for us, but I understand this
is a school project. A tree-view would be nicer too I think (like the
Novell tree).
- Helping implement the new samba 4 features when it is released.
- PXE remote installation of Linux and Windows clients. Configure based
on mac-address etc. Configuring windows to boot from PXE can be quite
annoying. Vista won't have dos support anymore. Ideally, we'd like to
make a "add this application, add this application, remove this, remove
that" click and install system, we'll have to see how much time we have,
and are allowed to spend.. Adding rom-o-matic .
- IP configuration during installation.
I've already written a tutorial.
http://beheer.eduwijs.nl/skolelinux/skolelinuxtutor.pdf. I don't know
how the CMS is managed, I guess I'm able to figure this out, if it is
centrally managed, then this is hereby a request to add it to the list
of documentation, otherwise I'll probably see how to add it.
Greetz,
