| highvoltage | "I am setting up an 18 client mobile lab for periodic use in 3rd to 8th grade classrooms. The administration has asked me for help in specifying a lab teacher. Is there any documentation or past experience available to help them?" | 17:05 |
|---|---|---|
| highvoltage | did someone just ask us for specifications for a teacher!? | 17:05 |
| Davew_ | Alkisg suggested that I ask my question here and not at the ltsp forum as it was pointed out to me that my question concerned users | 18:56 |
| Davew_ | rather than clients, so here goes | 18:57 |
| Davew_ | I have to add about a 130 users on to an 12.04 ltsp system. | 18:57 |
| Davew_ | I shall probably do this in batches of 30 . I can see how it is possible to set up a default group for the student group, is there anyway to set a default password which at first use | 18:59 |
| Davew_ | has to be changed by the user | 18:59 |
| Davew_ | The intention is to create a single group so that I can assign a particular menu for | 19:02 |
| Davew_ | the student group, and if I can force the students to enter their own passwords in it saves the problem of collecting them and entering them in manually. | 19:03 |
| alkisg | Which tool do you plan to use? | 19:08 |
| Davew_ | Hi Alkisg, Not made my mind up but it seem sto me that if I could have a file | 19:10 |
| Davew_ | which contained the default student information then this could be picked up by whatever I used | 19:11 |
| alkisg | Sure, that is possible | 19:13 |
| Davew_ | How about the forcing of the user to enter a password | 19:13 |
| alkisg | That's possible too | 19:14 |
| Davew_ | Can you point me in the right direction | 19:14 |
| alkisg | I did, yesterday | 19:14 |
| alkisg | But you need to select a tool to use | 19:15 |
| alkisg | If you can script, then adduser can do anything you want | 19:15 |
| alkisg | If you can't, check the newusers man page | 19:15 |
| alkisg | If you don't like manpages, select one of the web based user management tools | 19:16 |
| Davew_ | Ok thank you, I shall examine both | 19:16 |
| alkisg | Also, I suggested asking in #ubuntu, not #edubuntu, | 19:17 |
| alkisg | as user creation is not edubuntu specific, so you might get more help there (more users) | 19:17 |
| Davew_ | Thank you again. | 19:17 |
| alkisg | You're welcome | 19:18 |
| alkisg | Davew_: also, for just 30 users, you could do it with the small preinstalled gnome users management tool | 19:20 |
