Free samba 3 active directory software for linux

Session Directory Tool provides a multicast session directory manager.
SDR is a session directory tool designed to allow the advertisement and joining of multicast conferences on the Mbone. It was originally modelled on sd written by Van Jacobson at LBNL, but implements a later version of the session description protocol than sd does.
SDR was originally written under the MICE and MERCI projects at UCL by Mark Handley who now works for ISI. SDR will continue to be maintained on a limited basis as part of the infrastructure for conferencing on the CAIRN testbed network and the EC MECCANO project.
Many many fixes and improvements to SDR have been contributed by Bill Fenner and Van Jacobson. Security features were implemented by Edmund Whelan and Goli Montasser-Kohsari at UCL.
Enhancements:
- new application media type for session directories
- fixed byte ordering of headers on intel machines
- fixed IP6 address allocation for unix IP6 stacks
- Authentication and encryption code fixed to allow for extra space for IPv6 addresses
- Added IPv6 flags to configure scripts "--enable-ipv6"

Node Director project is a system management application for centralized user and host management in small to medium sized Unix / Linux / (Windows) system environments.
Main features:
- user management; templates and user classes make creation of users easy
- delegation of routine administration tasks
- data storage via LDAP - clients can directly bind to the LDAP database server
- flexible directory and name services - manages NIS, DNS, static DHCP entries, Samba users, LDAP ? LDAP transformations, file based databases like /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/hosts, ...
- single account / password across multiple systems and applications
- software distribution
- service configuration (e.g. sendmail, bind, ntp, ...) via template mechanism
- customizable actions on events like e.g. account creation, password change, host configuration change, ... where actions include home directory creation, service restart, execution of arbitrary commands on target system and many many more
The Director is currently mainly deployed on Linux systems and therefore supports Linux best. Most Unix systems are not directly supported but the Director will work. There is some limitted functionality for Windows machines, too.
The Node Director requires an LDAP accessible database engine, such as the free OpenLDAP or the SUN / Netscape Directory Server. Virtually, any directory server that implements LDAP v2 or v3 and allows custom schema extensions should do, the development team uses OpenLDAP, and the Director has been successfully tested with the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2.
The Director is in no means meant as a mere frontend for editing arbitrary data in LDAP accessible directory trees. It rather is a system management software storing its information via LDAP in RFC-compliant objects. The difference is that when you work with the Director you will never care about LDAP specific things like attributes, DNs, object classes, whatever (unless you want, of course). You will work with lists (e.g. of users) and forms (e.g. a single user account).
Anyway, the data is stored in an LDAP tree. While the Director comes with a number of means of updating name services like DNS, the system password/account database, Samba, etc. clients can directly bind via LDAP to the data store and access account / host records (e.g. via nss_ldap).

Open Directory in VLC is just a modified version of the Open in Kaffeine service menu.

I use it to open DVD/VIDEO_TS folders. VLC plays them with menus in tact.

SMBD Audit application is a set of VFS audit module for Samba 3 and web frontend to view and search samba audit logs.

Module stores logs directly into MySQL database with libmysqlclient.

You can search database by Login, Address, Share, Action, Log Message(specify filename or directory name), From and To Date.

Here is a very short list of what SMBD Audit package includes, and what it does.

- a VFS audit module, to provide logging to MySQL database

- a web front end to view and search logs.

Linbox Directory Server (LDS), along with the Linbox Management Console (LMC), is a powerful system that allows developers, system administrators, and other software vendors to manage users, groups, and their associated policies in an LDAP server.
Linbox Directory Server is highly ergonomic interface design makes it very easy to use, and delegation of administration enables medium size organization to adopt LDS.
Enhancements:
- New features and improvements include DNS/DHCP management and a Norwegian translation.
- The new DNS/DHCP module allows you to manage DNS zones and DHCP subnets for a typical LAN environment.

Active Objects is an implementation of the Active Object concept based on the boost::thread, boost::bind, and boost::function libraries.
The point of the library is to make taking advantage of multiprocessor machines as easy as possible. The library provides two types of functionality. The first is the ability to execute a function in a separate thread and automatically synchronize with the thread when the return value is needed.
The second is the ability to easily create a message cue for any existing class, and have that class process its messages asynchronously.
Enhancements:
- Minor code cleanup and code documentation updates.

SMBGate provides a gateway and firewall with authentication managed by a Samba Primary Domain Controller. The firewall rules are set on a per-user basis.
