Name : munge Product : Fedora 15 Version : 0.5.10 Release : 1.fc15 URL : http://munge.googlecode.com/ Summary : Enables uid & gid authentication across a host cluster Description : MUNGE (MUNGE Uid 'N' Gid Emporium) is an authentication service for creating and validating credentials. It is designed to be highly scalable for use in an HPC cluster environment. It allows a process to authenticate the UID and GID of another local or remote process within a group of hosts having common users and groups. These hosts form a security realm that is defined by a shared cryptographic key. Clients within this security realm can create and validate credentials without the use of root privileges, reserved ports, or platform-specific methods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Munge 0.5.10 fixes bugs: * Fixed bug where munged could deadlock if clients blocked. * Fixed bug where munged could crash while processing supplementary groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update munge' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
