Debian Local Area Network

Goal of the Project

The goal of the "Debian Local Area Network"-project is to make setting up a local network with centralized user and machine management, intranet, etc. as easy as possible in Debian.

To do that, the project aims to provide anything needed for such systems: Documentation, Code, whatever. Currently, the best way to do that seems the FAI framework (but the project is in no way limited to FAI). A set of FAI classes and the corresponding config space has been prepared to implement a basic Debian-LAN:

  • A mainserver with Kerberos KDC and LDAP including a FAI-server to install cients.
  • Clients installed over the network from the mainserver, automounting their kerberized home directories.

In a next step, a system comparable to the debian-edu network is planned, being usefull for small enterprises, associations or university work groups. (Pure Debian Blends can use that system and add their metapackages).
