Package: debian-edu-config Severity: important Version: 2.12.14The current implementation of host keytab exporting on TJENER bloats /etc/debian-edu/host-keytabs unnecessarily.
Such transient data should not be collected in /etc/, a better place is /var/lib/<consumer-provider>/.
My suggestion is to add a code change to the gosa-modify-host hook script that moves this data from /etc/debian-edu/host-keytabs to /var/lib/debian-edu/host-keytabs.
For compatibility, we will have to keep a symlink from /etc/debian-edu/host-keytabs -> /var/lib/debian-edu/host-keytabs around for a while, but that should not "hurt".
light+love Mike 22:22 < sunweaver> next topic 22:24 < sunweaver> about /etc/debian-edu/host-keytabs/ 22:24 < sunweaver> normally, /etc is not the best place for these files.22:24 < sunweaver> because, e.g. with etckeeper they bloat the Git of etckeeper (esp. with the current approach that those file change with every Save action in GOsa)
22:25 < sunweaver> I'd propose moving them to /var/lib/debian-edu/host-keytabs 22:25 < schweer> ok22:25 < sunweaver> or is there a reason for having them in /etc that I could not think of?
22:25 < schweer> i guess not (iirc)22:25 < sunweaver> ok, then I will propose a gosa-modify-host code portions that does that.
22:25 < schweer> ack 22:26 < sunweaver> I think it can be done via that file pretty easily. 22:26 < schweer> yes -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM c\o Technik- und Ökologiezentrum Eckernförde Mike Gabriel, Marienthaler Str. 17, 24340 Eckernförde mobile: +49 (1520) 1976 148 landline: +49 (4351) 850 8940 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de
