I am currently in the process of implementing an xforms-based user and group manager for FreeBSD (and other BSD-style operating systems). It is current in pre-alpha testing (eg., a lot of things work), and will shortly be in a public alpha testing (eg., most things work, but I make not promises.) As of this time it does not support NIS or kerberos, and has very limited group management capabilities. I would like to run a limited public alpha test of the software before going to a wider beta, as I have access only to a few FreeBSD systems to test it on. My expected release for the alpha is next Wednesday (I'm announcing ahead so the message has time to propagate some over the various mediums of relevance). When it is available, it will be downloadable from: http://www.watson.org/FreeBSD/userman2/ I will post a message to this group when its actually released. It should be noted that this software really is very alpha -- when I release it, it will be at a point where most features seem to work correctly on my personal test machines. This says nothing of anyone elses machine, so this should not be used on any large scale user systems unless you're willing to risk the user database being corrupted, and having to boot single user mode to copy old files over the new ones. Questions can be emailed to robert@fledge.watson.org, or rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu.
