Summary
Sabayon and Pesselus are our preferred application for managing sessions. Unfortunately, they have some rough edges. We need to fix this.
Release Note
Rationale
Use Cases
Assumptions
Design
- Sabayon:
- /Is/ maintained.
- Join mailing lists, start sending patches.
- Default behaviour should be, once installed it shouldn't change things, then the admin can lock down from there.
- Sabayon/Pesselus is planned to merge into a single source upstream, but the different tools will remain, as some people will want to have lockdown featurs without profiles.
- Profile groups
- Apply Sabayon profiles by unix group id
- Make the application of Default/Mandatory keys a little more intuitive. Minor UI changes.
- Target installing Sabayon by default on an LTSP/Edubuntu server model.
- Needs some really nice docs so ogra's mother can understand its usage. Submit docs back upstream.
- LDAP mode? Don't worry for hardy.
- Should be more straightforward after LDAP server makes it into hardy to add this later.
- Pessulus:
- Needs a mode, similar to Sabayon, where we can assign lockdowns based on users/groups, and not all or nothing as it is now.
- We should review the icon, it currently rather looks like a firewall app or virus scanner (It's a shield)
- Testing:
- Beat community over the head with a Sabayon/Pessulus stick and GET THEM TO TEST.
- This will be key, as we want it there by default.
