net::MC, which is an abbreviation for Networks Management Center, is a web-based application easing the day-to-day administrative tasks in a heterogenous network environment running both Windows- and Linux-based clients and servers maintaining a centralized directory service. net::mc is freely available under the GNU General Public License.

It has been developed for a LAMP server (linux, apache, mysql, and php4/5) providing a tool to manage the informations stored in a centralized ldap service like openldap2. These applications and services are spread widely and are maintained by the open-source community, which ensures further development. The decision using a web application has been made, because they are easy to use and usually available on almost any workstation computers.

Now its ready for prime time!

Here are some key features of "net::MC":
net::MC provides management for:
Posix user accounts and nested groups
Samba3 user, machine accounts, groups, and trusts
DHCP server with LDAP as backend
DNS or LDAP2DNS (http://ldap2dns.tiscover.com)
Sendmail/Postfix accounts, aliases, and routing
Cyrus accounts and quota (based on http://www.web-cyradm.org)
LDAP directory service for address books.

What's New:
Improving incremental synchronization.
Fixed several form glitches in lib/lib_form.php.
Fixing some ldap2dns related issues such as duplicates of host records (major bug).

Requirements:
LAMP/MAMP environment.
