That may be the piece that Stateless needs. My diskless lab is more-or-less based on a mix of stateless and older remote boot solutions. The main problem I had with Stateless was the steep learning curve of the LDAP user management, and the lack of a good intuitive user interface for it. If Fedora Directory server has the kind of UI simplicity that Active Directory does, it may be the perfect fit for Stateless.tir, 18.10.2005 kl. 23.27 skrev Stephen J.

No one seems to have the time to go into it and yanks its guts out and rewrite. Me included :(.Could Fedora Directory server help it, make it easier to admin, etc? Kyrre
While we're talking about reworking Stateless, another feature that would be cool, would be some elegant integration of Unionfs (unionfs.org) either in addition to, or in exchange for the current "Read-only root" system. Knoppix and other LiveCDs are now using this, and it has made them much more usable, since it provides read-write emulation of large portions of the read-only filesystem.
