Hi

Mark Murray here. I am doing the code maintenance for eBones(Kerberos)
for FreeBSD.

Great idea!

We had a look at these, but are unablle to use them, as they are
aimed at FreeBSD 2.0.5 (already released) and 2.1.0 (also released).
Our "stable" branch (2.1.n is only for well-proven code, not new
stuff, so I can't put anything in there yet. Where we would like
something like this is in our development branch "current", where
it can be banged on and fine tuned.

There has been at least one big change - our pipes are now
bidirectional.  We would be very interested in your input for
2.2-current. I can assist you in getting up to speed if you like?

I've got it now!
