Comment:
move autofs and slback-php config issues to 'fixed in git'.

-  * Workstations (and probably other profiles) have a race condition where autofs starts before the eth0 interface is up.  the syslog confirm that dhclient completes after autofs/automount complain in the log that it is unable to reach the LDAP server.  This causes user home directories to be unavailable after boot. DebianBug:769443 Is this systemd related? It seems to have been a problem in the past as well, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/733914 Maybe network performance plays a role, too. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710490 Workaround in debian-edu-config implemented (dhclient hook sript).

   * The kdm login no longer seem to run the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/, causing robustness fixes to not be applied in the default setup.
   * The installer accept weak user passwords for the first user which are rejected by Kerberos and make it impossible to log in after boot.  We should extend d-i to allow us to reject passwords kerberos is going to reject. (DebianBug:364526)
   * PXE installation ask for mirror, while it should use the same mirror as the server used when it was installed.

   * Usability issue: The default browser Iceweasel fail to show files with MIME types text/* (like for example diffs or source code) in the browser, and instead pop up a dialog only offering to save the file or pass it on to an external program (DebianBug:600266).  This make it hard for users to look at fairly normal text documents.  Chromium show text/* files in the browser.
   * The munin clients do not allow the munin server to talk to them (Denying connection from: ::ffff:10.0.2.1 in /var/log/munin/munin-node.log.  This is caused by the systemd service being different from the init.d script (DebianBug:764594).
   * slbackup-php: It is not possible to log into the web service using the root password. This is caused by the new sshd configuration: root access with password is now disabled by default. It should be documented in the manual how to get the gui working.
-  * slbackup-php: a configuration file is missing. The default backup server should be 'backup', not 'localhost' (DebianBug:769806).
   * Workstations are not able to NFS mount home0 from the tjener, even if they are in the workstation-hosts netgroup granting access. [Needs evaluation: ntp.conf related? Does commenting out the debian pool ntp servers fix the problem?]
   * SMTP reject email from cron on all other machines, and refuse email from everyone without a kerberos ticket.

   * The command 'net time' causes a segmentation fault (DebianBug:760781).
   * USB sticks with some ISO images (like the Debian Edu netinst one) dd'ed to don't work (user doesn't get notified, filemanager doesn't show the stick, fdisk can't access the device due to a possibly wrong partition table). [So this is rather an ISO file problem.]

   * Kerberos/LDAP startup with systemd is unreliable (DebianBug:758992). This seems to affect diskless workstations as well (homedir not mounted).
   * Duplicate entries in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules for the network card on a Thinkpad X200 caused eth0 to be missing when installing a workstation, making it impossible to log in after installation.  etckeeper show that the duplicate entry originates from d-i before pre-pkgsel.d.  It was present before debian-edu-config was installed by d-i.  (DebianBug:765577)  Workaround implemented in debian-edu-config (pre-pkgsel script).
