Main Inclusion Report for AuthClientConfig

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/auth-client-config; available for all supported architectures.

2. Rationale:

   • Future versions of ldap-auth-config will be dependent on the package.
   • This package allows template based pam and nsswitch configuration, which is part of the plan for simplified ldap authentication.

3. Security:

   • This is a new package and has no historical data.
   • This package consists of a python script that requires root privileges to function. It is not SUID/GUID.
   • This package does not access any network ports.
   • This package installs a python script in /usr/sbin.

   • The source has had a cursory review by RickClark

4. Quality assurance:

   • This package requires profiles/templates to work properly. Examples are provided.
   • This package does not use debconf over medium.

   • Upstream is vigorous

   • This package does not deal with hardware.

5. Standards compliance:

   • This package is Debian Policy compliant.

   • Packaging system: debhelper and python-central. This is a very simple package.

6. Dependencies:

   • debconf, python
   • Are these all in main ? Yes

7. Background information:

   • This will allow Ubuntu easier integration as a network authentication client. Currently it must be done by hand.

MartinPitt: looks good to me; fine to go to main when it actually gets used
