Good point. I would hope that a tool like CipUX, developed as I
described especially for our needs and by developers with a close
relation to skolelinux, can me modified in a way to be compatible.

Correct and already implemented to work out of the box.

That's absolutely right. We currently have 4 attempts running to solve
the issue: CipUX, GOsa, and now Jonas' tool. (The fourth one is the
sum of all ideas floating around but never get realized plus the time
spent trying to reanimate LWAT). For sure every attempt has its pros
and cons, some have been discussed here and others not.
Imagine all these forces joined in one direction -- .
But how to achieve this, don't ask me. It seems to be immanent with
the free software movement, I fear.
