[ddp] shishi : Command line client for the Shishi Kerberos v5 implementation

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package shishi, which is
part of the net section, and maintained by Debian Shishi Team
<help-shishi at gnu.org>. 

This package contains : Command line client for the Shishi Kerberos v5
implementation.

Shishi is an implementation of the kerberos v5 network authentication
system.

Shishi can be used to authenticate users in distributed systems.

Shishi contains a library ('libshishi') that can be used by
application developers to add support for kerberos v5.  Shishi
contains a command line utility ('shishi') that is used by users to
acquire and manage tickets (and more).  The server side, a Key
Distribution Center, is implemented by 'shishid'.  Of course, a
manual documenting usage aspects as well as the programming API is
included.

Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets, the
AP exchange for performing client and server authentication, and
SAFE/PRIV for integrity/privacy protected application data exchanges.

Shishi is internationalized; error and status messages can be
translated into the users' language; user name and passwords can be
converted into any available character set (normally including
ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8) and also be processed using an experimental
Stringprep profile.

Most, if not all, of the widely used encryption and checksum types
are supported, such as ARCFOUR, 3DES, AES and HMAC-SHA1.

This package includes a few command line tools:
 shishi -- Acquire and manage Kerberos tickets.
 keytab2shishi -- Convert MIT/Heimdal /etc/krb5.keytab's to Shishi format.
 ccache2shishi -- Convert MIT/Heimdal user ticket files to Shishi format.
