This is a three-way question.

-- Skolelinux uses LDAP/NSS/PAM to autentification and 
  autorisation. The LDAP-service should regulate 
  print-quota's for pupils. It also support Mac- and 
  Windows-integration with samba. 

-- A total of 9 students has already made a user-interface and 
  the underlaying service with LDAP-chema. It is crucial that 
  the teatcher has a good and easy user-interface for
 administrating users. 2 students has done the Mac- and 
 Windows-integration.

-- Strangely enoug the group that made the new user-interface 
   for user administration dident use CVS befor the two last 
   weeks of their project. Because of that the two students  
   who made the mac- and windows-integration integrated 
   their soloution to the old system for user administration. 
   Thats becaus they dident have the code.

What has to be done to make this work propperly?

1. Fix the bugs in the new user-administration interface 
(see the list I have translated from bugs.skolelinux.no)

2. Integrate the news samba-solution with the new 
  user-admin-tool (the samba-solution must be mantained
  because it's a newer version than the version in Debian woody). 

We have to prioritise. And the number 1. bug comes before 2. :-)

Buglist: 

* New system for user-administration (version 2) (6 show stop)
   Made by 9 students from Norwegian Information Technology 
   University College and Gjøvik University College. It needs 
   a lot of bugfixing, integration and probbly future refactoring.
