WANTED: Software to manage user accounts

[Sheryl Coppenger]

Currently at GWU we use multiple ksh scripts to add/remove users
in /etc/passwd and do other useful things.  Currently, we're
looking at replacing the software with something with a few more
bells and whistles.  Naturally, we'd rather get something public
(and presumably checked out a little) off the net if possible rather 
than writing our own.  The present system supports

	o  YP/NIS (by only allowing use on one machine, then doing
	   yppush)

	o  Addition/removal of blocks of users according to a
	   class ID prefix or one-at-a-time

	o  Creating/removing directories via rsh

	o  Printing "tickets" for class accounts, so instructor
	   can hand out IDs in class

	o  A separate "activation" step, so disk space isn't
	   created and account "loginable" until user provides
	   proof of fees paid.  This step creates a unique password.

In addition, we'd like something that keeps a data base of as many
as we can get of

	o  Date account created

	o  Date account will expire (even if have to expire manually)

	o  Department user belongs to

	o  Type of account (faculty, staff, student, etc.)

	o  All accounts belonging to a single user (some, mostly
	   faculty, have several)

	o  A soft disk usage limit

A nice user interface is desirable too, of course.

This seems to be a type of package that not many people produce for free
distribution, as opposed to important applications like star trek games :-).  
Another staff member and I located mcp and diskhog2 on uunet, but that's all we
found so far.

Can anyone suggest a package (or share war stories about writing their own)?  
This is going to run on a Sun 3 with SunOS 4.1.

Thanks in advance
