It is still causing operational difficulties that I would classify as more than an annoyance. See the ietf-krb mailing list archives. Certain GSS-API applications are broken, and unfortunately many Windows applications are written with assumptions that don't hold when a non-Microsoft KDC is involved. The industry will _never_ adopt some of these modifications -- they are very Microsoft/ActiveDirectory specific. Other modifications are still fiercely debated. Nonetheless, I applaud Microsoft for adopting Kerberos. This is something they promised that they would do back in 1993, and I seriously think that ultimately it will make the world a better place :-) Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
