Open Source BSD NIS Software

MACOW is a formal and scalable mandatory access implementation suitable on open worlds such as the provided on Semantic Web, Autonomic Computing and Coaltions and Federations scenarios. It is able to access control on distributed systems.

Perl tools for keeping an LDAP directory service in sync with NIS or any other text based naming service.

A non-compatible alternative for Sun's YP/NIS server/client. My implementation of this is to be simplistic, scalable, and secure. Everything I feel NIS lacked. **Interested developers are welcome to join the project!**

The project is to optimize both the Linux Workstation and School Server at for student usage. All the applications that were available would be systematically replaced with linux applications. The Network connections to the existing systems remain inta

Zivios is a web based control panel which brings together vital open source technologies needed by medium and large enterprises. Zivios provides identity management,user, group and computer provisioning, as well as remote management of services.

/usr/bin/passwd offers a "safe way" for root to edit /etc/passwd (or shadow). If setuid it allows regular users to change passwd without asking root to do changes for them. gnupasswd - gnu change user password gnugpasswd - gnu change group password gnupasswd(1) has a goal to work with older login.c/linux and some newer too, also "getpwent" (any glibc). or help convert. gnupassd does pass only: leaves all else alone (compat). small, simpler for single admin / small linux bases. For example: it can make plain /etc/passwd plain text password file (still) or use shadow - (login.c may do both). A goal is to be old linux and no "depends problems" (ie, some required pam selinux audit kerb (+nis remove hacks) "to work as intended". These can contact remote computers during login if misconfigured and are complicated to configure (so that one knows what is allowed or not completely). gnupasswd has none of these (gnu has NIS, off by default)

A short script written in Python to migrate an ldap ldif file with nis schema to rfc2307bis schema. Synthax: ./ldap_nis_2_rfc2307bis.py <source ldif file> <dest ldif file>

Users synchronization from LDAP server to local passwd file

nisldapd is a software daemon written in C for *nix systems that can provide user and group information via NIS/YP which is published in an LDAP datastore. The daemon runs only if there have been changes made in LDAP that are relevant to NIS/YP.

ypAnything is an NIS gateway to non-NIS sources, such as LDAP or a database. See the 'Home Page' tab (above) for HOW TO information

An easy to use GUI Control Panel for the YP Server.
