LTSP Tools

This is a place for people to post their scripts and programs for administering LTSP installations.

The Symbiont Workstation Manager

This is a web-based administration tool for managing LTSP installations. It is based upon Webmin, and tries to provide a convenient alternative to editing text files and the like. It also strives to provide higher-level functions that may be useful to administrators of larger networks. And, it's GPL! Check out the Sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/symbiont/^?

(NOTE: This tool is NOT a 1-1 match of text file params and GUI options. It uses abstractions such as Profiles and Sessions to make management and setup easier. As a consequence, if you are happy with your current configuration, back it up before moving to the Workstation Manager as your primary point of administration)

GNOME's system-wide user profile management

Sabayon is a system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings. Sabayon provides a sane way to edit GConf defaults and GConf mandatory keys: the same way you edit your desktop. Sabayon launches profiles in an Xnest window. Any changes you make in the Xnest window are saved back to the profile file, which can then be applied to user's accounts.
