  Description     : network authentication and identity system
 .
 NetAuth is an easy to deploy, easy to use authentication and identity
 provider, originating from the Void Linux project. It can replace LDAP
 and Kerberos to provide authentication services to a fleet of Linux
 machines.
 .
 NetAuth provides two key components: a limited directory of user
 information, and a secrets store. The directory provides the most
 critical information about an entitiy such as the ID, numeric ID, and
 name. For identity it provides a fairly standard password verification
 system: the user's password is sent via a secure channel to the NetAuth
 server where it is validated against a hashed copy.

This is a really simple IdM which may be a good fit in small
environments where more complex solutions like a full LDAP server or
Kanidm (RFP bug #1126402) are overkill. Given its simplicity, I may look
into packaging this in the future.
