Lars,

I made a very manual first run and got a working client=2E Lots of bugs to=
 work out=2E I have a very specific need to have selinux running in enforci=
ng mode on the clients=2E Yeah, that blew up in my face! Lot's to do on tha=
t=2E=20

Biggest fail is using an installer initrd image=2E That will need to be re=
placed with a version that is more secured=2E The ftp root needs MUCH work=
=2E Another specific need for me is user authentication from ipa=2E That wi=
ll probably not be super hard to "bake in" but will need some more research=
 so I know where all the pieces need to be placed=2E I suspect each client =
will need an autoenroll process=2E The challenge there is there's no mechan=
ism in ipa to store certs for multiple machines in the same file on a share=
d root filesystem=2E So a client will need a sequence of personality mounts=
 on boot to get detailed content=2E That will require some scripting on the=
 server end to manage and deploy that structure=2E The other part I'm not s=
ure about is /dev/random pool depletion=2E It's essential to my security ne=
eds for encryption tokens (kerberos keys, ssl/tls communications of huge mo=
unted filesystems) and multiple users each eat up randomness for each conne=
ction (yes=2E I also need encryption between thin clients and home server)=
=2E

Applications: this was a generic yum group install "server with gui" chroo=
t of centos 7 for the clients to run on=2E All the k12 stuff was not there =
but could be easily added=2E

Sorry actual details are non existent here=2E My notes on this are at work=
 and I'm just on my phone, slurping coffee on a Saturday morning=2E More, m=
uch more, later=2E

Hmm=2E I need to get the site loaded onto my server for data sharing=2E Pr=
obably not this weekend=2E Spent most of last weekend migrating to a new we=
b server and have all of those normal weekend chores still to do=2E

Oh=2E Other than a pile of old laptops, mac book pro and some Thinkpads, I=
'm looking to use these for clients:
