Correct me if I'm wrong somebody ? > (And soon please !) Thus states my (faulty) memory: For Kerberos - export is RIGHT OUT. This we all know. eBones is Kerberos minus the DES code, and is 90% on the way to being OK, but to be actually OK, certain code (between #ifdef's) must be removed. This then gives the Kerberos-like function, but with no encryption whatsoever, and is therefore both useless and exportable. :-) I have been pillaging any Kerberos/eBones documetation site I could think of, and can find absolutely nothing at all to support or refute these allegations. This does not mean I will stop trying. I suspect that Garrett Wollman knows some more, as does Geoff Rehmet. (Incedentally GR is trying (with success!) to get internet connectivity throught the service provider that I am a net engineer for.) SHH!!
