What works:
 - Compiles and tests pass on darwin & linux.
 - ortcalc, Basic replacement for opiecalc aka otp-md5.

What is close:
 - User DB on disk format.
 - PAM Module for authentication.

What needs more thought:
 - opiepasswd replacement
 - Where to take Orthrus

I want to get Orthrus to a state where it can easily be used by Linux
and other OS vendors.  It needs releases for that to happen though.

I would like it to stay at the ASF if possible, but even if Orthrus went
to the incubator, I'm not sure it would attract more than a handful of
committers -- and once the core features are done, I don't think there
would be any major code development.

The scope of what Orthrus is currentlyimplementing is a small standard
that has been stable for 10+ years.

The reason I started it at all is to replace OPIE, which does't even
compile on OSX, and to make a PAM module that works on Solaris, so that
the ASF infrastructure could use it.

Maybe Google Code is the right place to take it, since it seems to build
an ASF style community, it would need to be a project with a much larger
scope?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Paul
