Description:

Shishi is a (still incomplete) implementation of the RFC 1510(bis)
network authentication system (known as Kerberos V5). 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 RFC 1510 and a command line
utility ('shishi') that is used by users to interface with the
library, to acquire and manage tickets (and more). Included are also a
TELNET client and server (based on GNU InetUtils) for remote network
login, and a PAM module for host security. A rudimentary key
distribution center (KDC) daemon is included.
