At work we’re trying to set up a bunch of users on laptops with directory-based authentication and home directories. The trouble we’re running into is that these laptops are all wireless, and on OS X, airport doesn’t start until a user logs in. Therefore the machine can’t see the authentication directory on the network until a local user has logged in and out again.
>“Marketing, shmarketing. I say, bash away on java as much as possible. I dont know exactly what problems people are having pushing openacs to clients, but I have found that getting the initial project spec, taking it home, and coming back with their project 60% completed in two days is a lot stronger marketing tactic than saying ‘well yes, it will take 6 months to build you a bulletin board, but your system will have an object-relational persistance layer and full J2EE compliance.’”
