Debian Edu Networked stationary packages

A metapackage containing dependencies for packages required on all networked installations (workstation, roaming-workstation, minimal, LTSP-server and main-server) in the Debian Edu Blend.

A Kerberos PAM module build against the MIT Kerberos libraries. It supports authenticating against a Kerberos KDC, obtaining tickets and populating an initial ticket cache, authorizing users via a ~/.k5login file, and changing Kerberos passwords.

NetworkManager is a system network service that manages your network devices and connections, attempting to keep active network connectivity when available. It manages ethernet, Wi-Fi, mobile broadband (WWAN), and PPPoE devices, and provides VPN integration with a variety of different VPN services.

This package provides the userspace daemons and a command line interface to interact with NetworkManager.

Optional dependencies:

• ppp: Required for establishing dial-up connections (e.g. via GSM).
• dnsmasq-base/iptables: Required for creating Ad-hoc connections and connection sharing.
• libteam-utils: Network Team driver allows multiple network interfaces to be teamed together and act like a single one. This process is called "ethernet bonding", "channel teaming" or "link aggregation".

A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for running programs and caches the results for the next query. You should install this package only if you use slow services like LDAP, NIS or NIS+.
