True: Kerberos does is in some need of maturing still (IMHO), but I suspect many people are overlooking it because they don't know or understand it. (Also: there aren't any up-to-date Debian packages, yet). Currently I am installing (and fixing bugs) in the heimdal version, which is completely developed outside USA, hence doesn't have the same export restrictions as the MIT version. Kerberos isn't that hard to install. Compared with ssh, there is only one extra step, setting up and configuring the secure KDC. heimdal is a different story, of course (I have found one bug and currently debugging another), but it still hasn't officially been released. </flame proof suit> -- Brian May <bam@snoopy.apana.org.au>
