[01:16] <bamnet> How well does linux lend itself to providing email to students?
[02:35] <smackdown> Hello - New to Edubuntu - can anyone tell me if Dans Guardian is a part of it?
[05:12] <smackdown> Hello - New to Ubuntu - can anyone tell me if Dans Guardian is a part of the Edbuntu add on?
[07:12] <HushPe> smackdown: what do you want to know about Dans?
[07:13] <HushPe> TNKLTSP: thanks for your help last night, i've got it all bound up, and made the corresponding tweak so you don't need to login using domain\user
[07:14] <HushPe> i'm trying now to grab the home folder mount point so i can mount their home directories sitting on our server, i'm having a bit of a hard time trying to find details... it's been a while since i've played around with samba - should this be straight forward?
[08:24] <TNKLTSP> HushPe
[08:24] <TNKLTSP> It will not pe straigth forwards... unfortunately
[08:24] <TNKLTSP> (the tweak u said was "winbind use default domain" )
[08:24] <TNKLTSP> look at pam_mount
[08:24] <TNKLTSP> and its config
[08:27] <HushPe> yeah that's the tweak TNKLTSP :)
[08:27] <HushPe> ok, pam_mount was where i was looking, doesn't look as simple as the binding part ;) but no more complex than samba used to be a few years ago, so I should be able to work it through
[08:31] <HushPe> dinner time
[09:23] <juliux> morning
[10:00] <HushPe> are there any pam_mount howtos?  I've been hunting high-and-low and turning up a blank
[12:52] <generalsnus> we have skolelinux here on our school.. version 3.0..its quite old.. firefox 1.0.4 and such.. and it seems impossible to update with the newer stuff.. since i get all kinds of dependecies problems... so i was gonna try edubuntu with xfce desktop.. but is it easy possible to set it up like we have our system now?  1x ldap/samba server  3x thinclient servers.. so that the users authenticate against the ldap server..and
[14:37] <smackdown> HushPe:  I need to know if it's a preconfiged package on the edubuntu add on or if i'll have to continue with a gateway in front of it..
[16:11] <thebishop> hi guys
[16:11] <thebishop> i'm trying to keep my boss' son occupied and he says he likes to write stories
[16:12] <thebishop> is there any software that lets you write captions for pre-set illustrations or something
[22:10] <Lns> thebishop, Not sure if I've heard of anything specifically like what you're asking..have you checked the web? OpenOffice gives you facilities for this (like in presenter) but it might be a bit much for the child to understand..it has tons of clipart though
[22:11] <Lns> i bet there's *something* online as far as a flash site that does this... maybe?
[23:34] <HushPe> i'm trying to get pam_mount working, but have cooked my install, is there a howto around?  I also have some screwy rules which vary by user (students for example are \\server.domain.com\j\jamesbond and staff are \\server.domain.com\teachers\user or \\server.domain.com\office\user (where teachers or office could be it or support or somethingelse)
[23:34] <HushPe> this is against AD, of if i could pull the home folder path out, and use that to auto mount that would be even better :)
