Description : Configuration of a Kwartz client
Kwartz is a school server featuring many services, deployed in French
schools. This package makes it easier for sysadmins to integrate a
GNU-Linux client machine in a network ruled by a Kwartz service, to
allow users to authenticate against the LDAP directory, auto-mount
Samba shares for themselves, and for the groups and projects they
belong to.
Considerations about sustainability:
------------------------------------
1. this package is small, and just contains a few shortcuts to make
it easier for everyone with the right permissions to configure
libpam-ldapd and other pam modules with a set of questions targeting
newbie users.
2. LDAP services in a school, together with Gnu-Linux clients should become
less uncommon as free software spreads around. Kwartz is not a unique case,
I hope that this solution may be developed in more flavors, to target
other "popular" LDAP services deployed in schools.
3. I shall keep maintaining this package as long as I teach in my school
since it is necessary for my students.
4. The package is maintained in
