Debian-edu etch RC2 release Announcement
This is the second release candidate of debian-edu etch. We plan to
release RC3 before the final release. So please file bugs at
http://bugs.skolelinux.org/ '''now''', if you see problems. Even if you
dont have available hardware to test on, you can still help with testing
in qemu. The url http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/TestCDinstall
will help you get started.
We plan RC3 on June 16th and Debian-Edu etch on June 23th.
Highlights
* New script debian-edu-fsautoresize to make it easier to resize LVM volumes
* Changed LTSP network swap location from /tmp/ to it's own lvm volume
/var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles
* New scripts to clean up leftover ltsp swap files and processes from
abnormal shutdowns of clients and server.
* Fixed local device access in Standalone installs.
* Fixed network-manager access for the initial user in Standalone installs.
* Samba used scripts from wlus to update ldap when joining the domain.
Fixed by including the script in our configuration package.
* Made sure the client part of LTSP local device support (ltspfsd) is
installed on the clients.
* Changed the pam_group config to add all users loggin in to the fuse
group, to try to get local device access working out of the box when
enabled in LTSP.
* Removed some obsolete code in the installer used on woody and sarge.
* Munin on main-server will now monitor all hosts reporting to
sitesummary automatically.
* Removed unused code and obsolete comments from dhcpd.conf.
* Modified code generating self-signed certificate for the LDAP server
to make the public key available on the web, and added a boot script to
download this key to all clients the first time they boot.
* Fixed code to make admin users get a link to the web site with admin
tools and information on their desktop.
