Hello everyone, following all the discussion about when to add or remove users/groups and when to do this, i must that maybe some work is done (not using the standard adduser commands but almost).
I package libuser (from RH). From the Description: "The libuser library implements a standardized interface for manipulating and administering user and group accounts. The library uses pluggable back-ends to interface to its data sources." It already has backends for ldap, kerberos, standard Unix password/shadow and sasldb. Modules for NIS are planned. Configuring properly the backends one can add/remove users/groups from them. There are also some examples programs that extends its functionality. Apart of this, some time ago, i take a look to authconfig, the RH (again) utility to configure (ncurses and gtk available) the workstations to authenticate locally, via kerberos, ldap, heisod... Almost all the code was vendor independent and the only changes necessary were those related to the organization of pam configuration. I filled a ITP some time ago and it's almost working. It somebody want to sponsor it, we can upload it to experimental and start the party. Ghe Rivero -- CPD - Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca Tlf. 923 277 136 - Ext. 7263 .''`.
