New commands

tklife

tklife source Original source code
Check the token expiration. Output a message and give a nonzero return code if the token is not existing, is expired or will expire soon (default 1 hour). 
Usage: tklife [-l <warning time in hh[:mm:ss]>]

Requirements: tklife source Alternative code using the AFS perl modul
Requirements: tklife source Python implementation based on the original code (tested with python 2.3)

yplist

yplist source
List contents of netgroups (in NIS map netgroup) or the structure of the NIS map netgroup. 
usage: yplist [-h] [-t] [-d domain] [-f file] [-s] [netgroup]
       yplist -d domain ...     use domain instead of default domain
       yplist -f file ...       exclude entries found in file from listing
       yplist -h                displays this help information
       yplist netgroup          lists entries in netgroup
       yplist -s                lists the whole netgroups structure
       yplist -s netgroup       lists the structure of netgroup 
       yplist -t                lists top netgroups
return codes:   1               program called with wrong option[s]
                2               domain or netgroup given in arglist not existing
                3               subordinate netgroup not existing
