Hi, I am trying to promote Koha here in Denmark. We have a large number of small private schools for whick Koha is just great. However, often they do not have a lot of knowhow on Linux terminal (or nothing at all). Here the Live-DVD is really great. Starting with that, I try to make step-by-step guides (on my site koha.dk) to help people without any preconditions to get started. One of the major remaining obstacles is the need to change the master password katikoan. I have made a guide on this and I think most people should be able to handle it. However, it made me wonder, if this obstacle could be avoided? One possibility would off course be to let people enter their own password during the installation from the live-DVD, but that would probably complicate the installation proces and I like that to be as simple as possible. Therefore I had another idea, but I dont know, if this is at all possible. Could the "scope" of the users be limited? What I would like was, if this master-user (with password katikoan) would only work, if you sit and log in directly at the server (not across any network). Then you would install koha on the server, log in there and create at least one admin-user. Then you could use this to log in from somewhere else and continue from there. In this case there would be no need to change katikoan, because nobody from outside could use it. Maybe this could be extended. When you create admin-users, you may give them different permissions. Maybe these could be dependent on whether you log in at the server, from the local network or across the Internet. I think this could increase the general security? At least I could easily imagine cases, where a user should have admin-rights only, when sitting inside the house at the local network. -- Venlig hilsen Lars J.
