I haven't used RADIUS yet but I'm getting along OK with kerb. Does
RADIUS use pub-key stuff too? Anyone know the major package differences?
Kerberos is nitpicky at times, I'll grant that, but it seems pretty
secure, and it's already built in to helpful stuff like the r-commands
and my netblazers. I mean, the downside is it's so confusing that if, on
the off chance, you get an intruder who knows some sneaky way through
it, there's no way in hell you'll understand what they're doing ;) but
I'm a big fan of the kerberos security model.
