Never mind, I just realised that pam-python is licensed under AGPL
and is thus not suitable for Debian Edu IMHO.
@Mike, @Petter: Did you realise that pam-python is AGPL? It means that
we cannot provide terminal servers or netbooting in Debian Edu without
placing a prominent link to pam-python's sources on the desktop…
@Russell: Can you please relicence pam-python under a less insane
licence?
If the latter fails, we should either rewrite such a module under
a less restrictie licence, or rewrite libpam-mklocaluser in C or Rust,
or get rid of the need for libpam-mklocaluser (probably by using
sssd).
Looking forward to everyone's thoughts,
Nik
