I'm pleased to announce release 1.8 of kadmin-remctl.  This is the first
public release of this package.  It has been used internally at Stanford
for some time in various forms.

kadmin-remctl provides a remctl backend that implements basic Kerberos
account administration functions (create, delete, enable, disable,
reset password, examine) plus user password changes and a call to
strength-check a given password.  It can also provide similar management
of instances and creation, deletion, and management of accounts in
Active Directory and an AFS kaserver where appropriate.  Also included
is a client for privileged users to use for password resets.  Many of
the defaults and namespace checks are Stanford-specific, but it can be
modified for other sites.

kadmin-remctl is at this point mostly complete in the functionality that
we've needed at Stanford, but the implementation leaves something to be
desired (using command-line OpenLDAP clients rather than a proper Perl
library to make Active Directory modifications, for instance).  As I have
time, I expect to do considerable additional cleanup and improvement.

You can download it from:

Debian packages have been uploaded to Debian unstable.
