GraphViz

A while back I had to diagram interactions between components in a KRB5+LDAP+NFS4 system. Instead of laying this out by hand, I went with GraphViz. I think I had known of its existence, but when I forget what the name of it is, I tend to look up this diagram of Ender stories from Wikipedia. The diagram I made is below, if you happen to have a Celerra laying around. Recently, I’ve started playing with GraphViz again to do some stuff for my current job, but have found out that one thing it doesn’t really do are the directory-tree type layouts one expects to find in most file managers today. Maybe they’ll add that as a different layout engine at some point.
