This is where we plan to release a number of open source tools for managing Kerberos environments.

KNC

Kerberised NetCat.

Kharon

A framework for writing simple OO RPC applications in Perl which is used as the basis for the rest of the tools.

krb5_admin

A replacement for kadmin/kadmind.

krb5_keytab

A keytab manipulation tool that talks to krb5_admin.

k5ping

A simple command line tool which tests that a KDC is performing AS_REQs, TGS_REQs, and krb524 is functioning.

lnetd

A command line tool which acts like inetd(8) but listens on UNIX domain sockets instead of INET sockets.

prefork

A service which can be invoked from either inetd(8) or lnetd which manages a pool of preforked services.

This list is the same as the one that’s over there on the side panel.

Authors

This software was written mostly by Roland Dowdeswell and Bill Squier.
