More details in the "mtype" field of mdb
Currently the "mtype" field of mdb contains 3 values: user, orga and server. This is not really practical, because you can't pssh to all the netbooted machines with --mtype=orga, it also tries to pssh on external devices (laptops, phones, ...) We should first change the values of this field with:
netboot/internal/..?
for the machines we need to boot using netboot and a rhfsexternal/..?
for the external devices (laptops, phones, ...)server
for the server
We could then add a special field utype
for the firewall:
contestant
for the contestantsorga
for the organizersservice
for the servers

reporter The main difference we want is actually
managed
andunmanaged
since we can't really firewall the external devices. Maybe we could just remove theserver
andservices
fields. Isutype
that important? Maybe to prevent contestants to log on to organizers machines? -
utype
enables us to select the machines to run commands. For example we only restart kdm on the users machines and leave the orga working. The field is useful, it should stay. -
reporter Shouldn't we already know that from presenced?

Both - current user with presenced and statically defined machine purpose on mdb - are useful. For example we can conflose all the contestant machines but keep the organizer one alone, even if nobody is currently logged in those.
