==== Description: ====
MUNGE (MUNGE Uid 'N' Gid Emporium) is an authentication service for creating
and validating credentials.  It is designed to be highly scalable for use in
an HPC cluster environment.  It allows a process to authenticate the UID and
GID of another local or remote process within a group of hosts having common
users and groups.  These hosts form a security realm that is defined by a
shared cryptographic key.  Clients within this security realm can create and
validate credentials without the use of root privileges, reserved ports, or
platform-specific methods.


==== Other Software Required: ====
Requires either Libgcrypt or OpenSSL:

Libgcrypt
LGPL
