Comment:
Some issues should be fixed now.

   * Recently made LDAP entries get lost if the system is rebooted or powered off (DebianBug:764225). As a workaround stop slapd before shutting the system down. [This issue seems to be unreprocubible now. Feedback?]
  
   * 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.
-  * Usability issue: the KDE file manager fail to play Ogg Theora videos recorded by gtk-recordmydesktop because file report mime type "application/ogg" instead of "video/ogg" (DebianBug:762561).  Video players and processors like vlc (DebianBug:762564), gnome-mplayer (DebianBug:762565), mpv (DebianBug:763173), advene (DebianBug:763174) and handbreak (DebianBug:763175) should be updated to list video/ogg as a supported MIME type.  The dragonplayer and kaffeine package already support video/ogg.
   * The Kerberos TGT is valid for 10 hours as it should be. Clicking the key symbol, the krb5-auth-dialog lacks the username; the realm is OK, though (DebianBug:762906).
   * Kerberos/LDAP startup with systemd is unreliable (DebianBug:758992). This seems to affect diskless workstations as well (homedir not mounted).
   * 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).  
-  * The command 'net time' causes a segmentation fault (DebianBug:760781).
   * The cups management site 'www:631' doesn't work any longer. Remote printer management should be documented.
   * Grub ask users to enter /dev/ path to hard drive on a single hard drive machine (DebianBug:712907) (DebianBug:763580), fixed in grub-installer version 1.98, reintroduced on purpose in version 1.99.
   * 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).
-  * The wrong Nagios configuration is used on the server.  The autogenerated Nagios configuration do not seem to be enabled.
   * It is not possible to log into the slbackup-php web service using the root password. The web page isn't localized.
   * 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?]
   * 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)
+  * SMTP reject email from cron on all other machines, and refuse email from everyone without a kerberos ticket.
  
  == Known problems, unlikely to be fixed ==
+ 
+  * The command 'net time' causes a segmentation fault (DebianBug:760781).
  
  == Fixed in git ==
  
  == Fixed in unstable (related packages accepted in unstable) ==
+  * Usability issue: the KDE file manager fail to play Ogg Theora videos recorded by gtk-recordmydesktop because file report mime type "application/ogg" instead of "video/ogg" (DebianBug:762561).  Video players and processors like vlc (DebianBug:762564), gnome-mplayer (DebianBug:762565), mpv (DebianBug:763173), advene (DebianBug:763174) and handbreak (DebianBug:763175) should be updated to list video/ogg as a supported MIME type.  The dragonplayer and kaffeine package already support video/ogg.
+  * The wrong Nagios configuration is used on the server.  The autogenerated Nagios configuration do not seem to be enabled.
   * debian-edu-artwork: background of gdm3 login screen is not the Debian Edu one. 
+ 
+ == Fixed + done (related packages migrated to jessie) ==
   * Gosa allow admins to add invalid DNS names in the web interface, and the LDAP to DNS export script gladly pass them on to bind (DebianBug:710362), which break and take down the entire installation when the LDAP server is unknown in DNS. [Seems to be fixed in the gosa version available in jessie, see mail to bug.]   ldap2zone will no longer put broken zones into production.
- == Fixed + done (related packages migrated to jessie) ==
   * On LTSP diskless workstations the homedir isn't mounted. This is caused by automounter running and blocking /skole as mountpoint for sshfs. As a workaround (to be able to test things) set RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES=autofs in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf.
   * debian-edu-doc.git: the jessie manual is missing.
   * exim4-config some times fail to install, reporting "Failed to acquire random data (DebianBug:762103).  Triggered by a bug in eatmydata, affecting all GnuTLS users.  Fixed by disabling eatmydata until a fixed version enter testing.
