Roaming workstations in Debian-LAN available

(cc debian-edu, as they are working on the same issue ...)

Hi all,

with the latest commit, roaming workstations are available in
Debian-LAN!

        <URL:http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/debian-lan.git;a=commitdiff;h=9aef028d091e30f2a560315e89c604e7a07c2ffc>

The ROAMING class allows to log into machines without connection to
the Debian-LAN network.  The class can be added to any standard
workstation.

A users first needs to log into the roaming machine when it is in the
Debian-LAN network.  After that, the machine may be taken off-line,
the user can now still log in and a local home directory is created.

Back in the Debian-LAN network and in the NFS-home directory, the user
will find his off-line data in '/home/<username>/'.

After some testing, I have already some improvement in mind: Copy the
Debian-LAN home directory to the machine locally on the first login.

Best regards,

     Andi
