(In #7796) After a bit of research on this, the following tools seem to fit the bill

  • ivman - a genering DBus event handler. Upside: it seems to be moderately popular, generic hooks to trigger scripts on dbus events. Downsides: unmaintained, bad config syntax.
  • hal-autofs - python listener. simple, we can probable even make it work and adapt to our evil means.

I think this is done. Does it test ok on the F9 build?

This is done and works on F9.

An unresolved issue is that the school server can't check the validity of leases because it doesn't have the UUID of most laptops (it has some, collected by idmgr, but it doesn't check these).
