Account Maintenance Package
Hi all, Here at Purdue the Engineering Computer Network staff have developed a very awesome account management package called ACMAINT. They currently use it to manage all the accounts and machines on the network.(Over 13,000 users with over 336,000 accounts on approx. 800 Sun's, 120 HP's, and handful of IBM's, SGI, etc!) From any machine on the network you can change any account on any other machine via a client server arrangement. The source and doc are in ftp://ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/ACMAINT/. I don't think it has been ported to Linux but can be built on 20 different *nix's including BSD4.2, BSD4.3 BSDPOSIX so it shouldn't be to difficult to add support for Linux. It is very customizable.
