Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Niels van Dijk <>]

Hi John,

this document:
http://www.surfnet.nl/Documents/indi-2009-07-018%20(Eindrapport%20Dienstoverstijgend%20federatief_groepsmanagement%20v1.0).pdf

Contains a fairly detailed description of a grouper setup on Ubuntu.
(after a few Dutch bits, chapter 7 describes the setup)

regards,
Niels
