Hi folks! |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The kerberos herd in gentoo is pretty understaffed. That's the reason |
| 7 |
why I want to advertise this developer job to _YOU_! |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Kerberos in gentoo is nevertheless not in bad condition but there are |
| 10 |
some user requests and a lot of ideas to enhance things. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
USER REQUESTS: |
| 13 |
- Get real ldap backend support especially in heimdal (personally I |
| 14 |
think it's technical nonsense to store a security related dataset in a |
| 15 |
system which was developed for public access <- but it is a user request!) |
| 16 |
- Of course work on open bugs. (most of them contain enhancement |
| 17 |
requests and compatibility issues with other ebuilds) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 20 |
- Further work on heimdal, mit-krb5 _AND_ GNU Shishi (still not part of |
| 21 |
our tree) to give users free choice which implementation to use. |
| 22 |
- Enhance integration of kerberos in applications like OpenAFS, OpenSSH |
| 23 |
aso. |
| 24 |
- Split server and client part. |
| 25 |
- Write documentation on all the kerberos related things in gentoo. |
| 26 |
(How to configure kerberos server, client, replication, aso.) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
All security relevant patches are included ATM and ebuilds are more or |
| 29 |
less up to date. There is krb-1.7 pending for stabilization but there is |
| 30 |
no hurry since all relevant patches are back ported to our stable |
| 31 |
version. heimdal-1.2.2 is in rc status and will become stable soon. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If you are interested please read [1] to get an idea how to become a |
| 34 |
gentoo developer. Then have a look on the open bugs at [2]. I'd really |
| 35 |
appreciate your help. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Kerberos is an important part of any modern distribution and a lot of |
| 38 |
applications have dependencies on it. On the other hand not many people |
| 39 |
do actively use kerberos in their environments. I'd say whom should use |
| 40 |
the system to maintain it. So let's tame the beast and get into hades - |
| 41 |
you won't miss the experience! ;) |
