Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : mkntpwd Version : N/A Upstream Author : Anton Roeckseisen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin/tips/src/mkntpwd.tar.gz * License : BSD-type, GPL (samba source files) Description : tool to create LM and NT MD4 password hashes
It is useful when using Samba w/ LDAP to initialize passwords in the directory. I'm not completely sure how to proceed though. I have the impression that mkntpwd is basically unmaintained upstream. At least, I couldn't find a download location provided by upstream anywhere nor a version number. Anyway, since it is a tiny program where is it not very likely that more features are added in the future, it'd prefer forking it right now. Source should be cleaned up quite a bit, too, and stuff like python bindings would be nice... There is another issue I was thinking about. Currently, it contains a couple of source files from Samba. All of that functionality could also be used by linking against libsmbclient. Should I rather do that? Libsmbclient is fat though and depends *a lot* on a lot of other stuff I don't need, so I'd prefer not to.
