krb5-sync 2.0 released

[Russ Allbery]

I'm pleased to announce release 2.0 of krb5-sync.

krb5-sync is a toolkit for updating passwords and account status from an
MIT or Heimdal Kerberos master KDC to Active Directory.  It is implemented
as a patch to libkadm5srv and a plugin module that will push password
changes and selected account flag changes to Active Directory at the same
time as they are made to the local KDC database.

Changes from previous release:

    Dropped support for AFS synchronization and all Kerberos v4 support.
    This package now only synchronizes with Active Directory.

    Add plugin support for the proposed kadmin hooks for Heimdal and
    ported the code to Heimdal as well as MIT Kerberos.  Add a patch for
    Heimdal 1.3.1 to the patches directory.  The implementation for
    Heimdal is preliminary and will change in later releases.

    Add an ad_ldap_base configuration option to specify the base DN for
    Active Directory.  Patch from Andreas Johansson.

    Ignore connection timeouts from AD when running the queue with
    krb5-sync-backend in silent mode.

    Improve error reporting in the standalone krb5-sync utility.

    Enable Automake silent rules.  For a quieter build, pass the
    --enable-silent-rules option to configure or build with make V=0.

    Add portability code for platforms without a working snprintf or other
    deficiencies and updated the code to take advantage of those
    guarantees.

    Update Kerberos Autoconf macros from rra-c-util 2.3:

    * Check for networking libraries before Kerberos libraries.
    * Sanity-check the results of krb5-config before proceeding.
    * Fall back on manual probing if krb5-config doesn't work.
    * Prefer KRB5_CONFIG from the environment.
    * If krb5-config isn't executable, don't use it.
    * Add --with-krb5-lib and --with-krb5-include configure options.
