authtool: a network authentication configuration tool

[James Kramer]

I will report on how well it worked.  It will take me a while.  My laptop is
down and I ordered another that arrived for the Labor Day weekend but has a
video problem so I need to return it.  This hampers my ability to work at
home.  I will install Ubuntu on a work computer and then try authtool and
see if I can get it connected to the network.
