Newly-independent Axent Technologies Inc has re-designed its OmniGuard/Enterprise Access Control software for Unix in version 3.0, which is available now. It previously relied on a Network File System directory mounting to make the directories global. With this version, it is all routed via TCP/IP in a so-called management-agent architecture. It also supports NIS and NIS+ naming services. Rockville, Maryland-based Axent spun out of Raxco Inc earlier this year for its own Nasdaq listing. The manager controller part of Enterprise Access Control costs $2,000, with each agent, prices on a per-machine basis, goes for $1,000.
