Yes, that was the intention. My goal was that Shisa would be a very small and simple user database interface library, so it could be used by GNU SASL and other non-KerberosV5 packages too. Other packages also need to lookup a password for a user, and there is no such generic library on your regular Debian box. So that's why Shisa doesn't call any Shishi functions. Perhaps Shisa should be split off Shishi completely, although it is somewhat krb5-specific right now. Is this too restrictive? Perhaps we can add a new library that use functions from both Shisa and Shishi, which can be used by shishid and other Shishi administration tools. /Simon _______________________________________________ Help-shishi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-shishi
