After reading the section on Kerberos in the handbook, it seems that if a site is blocking the r* commands (rcp, rlogin, ...) that the only thing Kerberos will add is tighter control over who can su. Is this the case? If so, is there a practical reason for using Kerberos if the r* commands are disabled via inetd.conf, other than the obvious one of placing more restrictions on su? Maybe that alone would justify the overhead of Kerberos in any case. I haven't formed an opinion yet. I wanted to hear the comments of others in this case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jerry Kelley jerryk@iquest.net "Expectations are life's greatest dangers."
