* Package name : sident Version : 3.3 Upstream Author : Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/sident/ * License : BSD (the CMU varient thereof) Description : ident protocol varient with strong SASL authentication S/Ident is a modified version of the standard ident protocol that adds SASL-based authentication. Currently, only Kerberos v4 and Kerberos v5 GSS-API authentication are supported. The package provides both a responder daemon that runs on client systems like a regular ident daemon but finds the user's ticket cache and replies with a SASL authentication and a library that can be used to do an S/Ident callback using an appropriate srvtab or keytab. This package provides both a client daemon and a server library with Perl bindings, so the plan is to generate four binary packages: sidentd Client responder daemon (run from inetd) libsident0 Shared library for server queries libsident0-dev Development files for the server query library libnet-sident-perl Perl bindings for the shared library libsident0 is a prerequisite for the webauth package (ITP #304728) to support S/Ident callbacks, an optional feature of the package that's configurable at runtime. This package has been in widespread use at Stanford since 1996 and is generally usable by any Kerberos site, although I expect it would mostly be used in combination with WebAuth. I'm also the current upstream maintainer, although not the original author. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
