These are five projects that are almost ready and would be nice to have finished and documented.

These are four (at the moment) projects that are almost ready and would be nice to have finished and documented.

We limit the projects to four (at the moment) to concentrate effort.

===Shadow Copy===
  −
Letting network users restore previous versions via Explorer
  −
has dramatically reduced the need for me to involve myself in restoring
  −
files and is a tremendous timesaver overall.
  −
  −
This is already implemented, it just needs verification it works.

===Backup with dar===
 
===Backup with dar===

feature rich backup system for smeserver to network shares or attached USB disk.
     −
This rpm has moved from being a contrib, to testing stage

Released in 7.4

===Disable yum remove===

===Shadow Copy===
Software installer (namely "Remove installed software") is removing more than
+
This is implemented
just the packages selected due to dependencies.
     −
It runs yum -y remove <selected packages>
+
For usage see the wiki entry [[ShadowCopy]].
and therefore removes the requested packages along with any
  −
dependencies BUT without asking for confirmation. I think this is a bit
  −
dangerous and much to tempting especially for someone that is a "bit sleepy"

===LDAP user account information and authentication===
 +
http://wiki.contribs.org/LDAP
   −
===Project 5===
+
Storing user information and authentication in a LDAP backend would improve adding Linux workstations to the domain as well ([http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html#id412238 Samba man pages: Winbind: Microsoft Active Directory Services]).
