But, for these bugs I can not give new solutions because of the architecture we're using: For the clients, we're using the Debian package, with some preseeds. One of the preseeds adds the school name to the tag info of the client. But, for the server, we're using only one server for all our secondary schools. This server, located inside our intranet, collects the data from all the secondary school pc in the region, currently more than 50.000 machines, and it was setup manually, from the ocs inventory project sources. There're are two main reasons to do it that way: - The inventory is linked to another application: GLPI [1] that's used by our call-center. The call-center is being managed by an external company, and that company need to make changes in the glpi sources (to add multicenter support), so we let them do all the server stuff. - At that time, there was not a Debian package for the server. So, I'm afraid that our setup doesn't give possible solutions to the skolelinux bug, and we haven't tested the new package from experimental. If you need more data, feel free to ask. Cheers José L.
