Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the krb5-sync package. I no longer use the package and it doesn't seem likely that I will again soon, so I'm no longer a good maintainer for it.
The package builds two binary packages. krb5-sync-plugin's description: This plugin synchronizes passwords changed via kadmin or kpasswd to a foreign realm via the Kerberos password change protocol (normally, but not necessarily, an Active Directory realm). It can also propagate changes to the DISALLOW_ALL_TIX flag to Windows Active Directory using LDAP. This package provides a plugin for the MIT Kerberos KDC and will not work with Heimdal. krb5-sync-tools's description: Provides tools to enable, disable, and set the password of an account in a Windows Active Directory using the same configuration used by the krb5-sync-plugin package. These supporting tools are normally used to handle queued changes created by the plugin that failed due to a temporary error, but can be used on their own. Note that the package is also orphaned upstream (I was also the upstream maintainer). It is a limited and specialized piece of software and may require local changes to be useful, but it does seem to get some use and I was originally asked to package it for Debian instead of just for Stanford.
