Can gosa-si-client be eliminated from server? #119

What does gosa-si-client do ON A SERVER:

on startup
while the server is idle
during fai -N softupdate

The only feature I can think of that would need to be moved to go-susi for the startup case is the creation of /etc/ldap/... files, which I think are currently created by gosa-si-client.

During idle time I don't think gosa-si-client is doing anything useful.

During softupdate the client sends progress information to the server and at the end it probably also sends the fai log files.

Testing confirms all of my initial expectations. The functionality described above are the only things gosa-si-client does on a server. Even things like reboot and halt are disabled on LHM servers.

gosa-si-client is not even needed to store logfiles for fai -N softupdate, because the log files are created in /var/log/fai/localhost/ directly by the update process. There's no need to transfer them.

Progress information also does not seem to be available when updating a server.

In conclusion: Now that [general]/new-config-hook is implemented, gosa-si-client is no longer needed on the server.

Status: Done
