[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 249 host enrollment

[Jenny Galipeau]

Hey Rob:
I'll probably be writing a test plan and automating this soon.  Can you 
direct me to all available design, configuration, implementation 
documentation for host enrollment and the join utility?  This is all I 
have right now ...

Thanks
Jenny
