[ros-dev] WinLogon

[Alex Ionescu]

Hi,

I'm really excited by all the recent WinLogon work! Congratulations to
Hervé for working on this.

Some questions:

Will the GINA be 100% compatible with NT WinLogon? I hope so. Also,
there is a fully FOSS GINA project out there, I'm sure it can be useful.
MSDN also has a lot of information, and I can help with some Winlogon
internals, by email only please, I'm not and won't be on IRC for a while.

Are we also going to support GUI-on-demand? That was largely the big
problem with Winlogon, and both Thomas and I (And others) think GUI On
Demand is a big hack that currently screws up more stuff then it
helps... If yes, then how's winlogon going to work? As a text-mode login
problem as well? Hopefully that won't hack GINA compatibility.

Since this was supposed to be an SoC program, I propose that we setup a
personal fund (and advertise) on the website for Hervé to get paid. I'll
also try talking to Google (since our SoC GINA guy failed) to see if
they'd be willing to set up an exchange. Unless Hervé disagrees, of course.

Good luck to all.
