GOsa 2.6 README
===============

* Information

GOsa is a LDAP administration frontend for user administration. It
is NO GENERIC frontend to dictionary servers. Informations are stored
in the way the underlying conecpts suppose them to be stored (i.e.
people accounts are stored in "ou=people" subtrees, etc.) This can
be configured marginally.

Complete setups applying Kerberos, AFS, LDAP, Mail, Proxy and Fax setups
are not trivial at all. You should be familiar with these components and
with your UNIX installation, of cause. This file is (and will not be)
an introduction to any of these components. See INSTALL for a quick
overview about what to do, to get the things up and running. A complete
GOsa infrastructure howto is work in progress and not released yet.

* Packages

From GOsa 2.6 on we've split the project into several sub-packages:

- GOsa core

  This contains the core components including users, groups, etc. If you
  didn't choose "GOsa combined", you definitely need this package.

- GOsa combined

  This package contains GOsa core and a plugin snapshot at the time
  GOsa core has been released.

- GOsa plugins

  GOsa core can be combined with ~30 plugins for managing the diversity
  of your systems. You can install single plugins by running the
  "update-gosa" command.


If you deploy Debian systems, please use the pre-packaged GOsa packages!

Have fun!
