func a lot like remctl except with more access to the programming language and a different authentication strategy. It's yet another retread of a very old idea (going back at least to the old IBM sysctl that used Kerberos v4), also represented by CERN ARC and various other systems. (I think that both adm and Moira have some capabilities along these lines as well.) Our experience at Stanford was that we never actually needed to be able to embed programs into the server and the additional complexity of supporting that wasn't worth it, so remctl always runs an external program. This has worked quite well for us. remctl doesn't use any of the XML languages in part because dealing with the parsing libraries was too painful for the benefit gained in our opinion when we started the project. We wanted something with a lightweight server that didn't require dependencies on scripting languages since at the time we had a huge Solaris infrastructure. These days, with Linux being more common, the Python dependencies aren't as big of a deal. You can get remctl from <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/>. It's in widespread production use at Stanford. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
