It would appear so. However, I am hoping that someone like Joseph
Guarino will investigate how to integrate authtool into a network, and
write some docs for us all to benefit from :-) Joseph seems to be a
pioneer at integrating new open source projects into the corporate
environments he consult for -- that is if he can sell F/OSS well
enough to the customers who don't have a clue (what I mean is, they
are clued into Windows, yeah...)!
Enough rambling. Let us know if you get it working and how you used it...
