[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] shishi want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  Shishi - A RFC 1510(bis) implementation
Project System Name:  shishi
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=3605
Description: Shishi is a (still incomplete) implementation of the RFC 1510 and 
RFC 1510bis network authentication system.  RFC 1510 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.  Shishi contains 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. 
 Of course, a manual documenting user aspects as well as the programming API is 
included.

Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets, and the AP 
exchange for performing client and server authentication. Shishi is 
internationalized; error and status messages can be translated into the users' 
language; username and passwords can be converted into any available character 
set (normally including ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8) and be processed using an 
experimental Stringprep profile.  The des-cbc-md4, des-cbc-md5, 
des3-cbc-sha1-kd, aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96, and aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 
encryption types, and the rsa-md4-des, rsa-md5-des, hmac-sha1-des3-kd, 
hmac-sha1-96-aes128, hmac-sha1-96-aes256 checksum types are supported.

Shishi is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 platforms 
including most major Unix platforms and Windows.

Shishi is free software licensed under the GNU Public License.
