Alkis, I am getting an error when trying to run the latest version of epoptes. Specifically, it says my account is not a member of the epoptes group. However, that is not the case, see the output from the terminal session below. david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ epoptes User david.hopkins must be a member of group epoptes to run epoptes. david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ groups Domain Users epoptes david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ tail -1 /etc/group epoptes:x:128:root,david.hopkins david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ cat /etc/default/epoptes # The port where the server will be listening on, and where the client will try # to connect to. For security reasons it defaults to a system port, 569. #PORT=569 # Epoptes server will use the following group for the communications socket. # That means that any user in that group will be able to launch the epoptes UI # and control the clients. SOCKET_GROUP=epoptes The epoptes service is running. I am confused about why this doesn't seem to work.

It allows for screen broadcasting and monitoring, remote command execution, message sending, imposing restrictions like screen locking or sound muting the clients and much more! It can be installed in Ubuntu based labs that may contain any combination of the following: LTSP servers, thin and fat clients, non LTSP servers, standalone workstations, NX clients etc. It should also work in Debian based labs but that hasn't been tested yet. It's is a partial rewrite of an older application called sch-scripts, which has been successfully used the last year in about 250 Greek schools. Epoptes already has a lot of features, but a lot more are planned, and it's being developed at a very fast pace. It'll hopefully be included in the Debian/Ubuntu archives in their next releases. It's maintained by IT teachers and students, so it should be around for a long time! Hope some people that had a hard time making iTalc work will find it useful!
