1)kerberizing an app and 2) the mit kerberos on NT4/w2k executables (server)

[norman]

Thank you for the reply. I am a newby to kerberos (but not
security/encryption etc).  maybe I am wrong! it just is clear from many of
the articles here that Microsoft Kerberos is not fully interoperable with
your version. Please indulge a newbie!

I just don't want to incur the cost of writing an app and then finding
problems with the MS version as most clients will want a Linux
implementation of our app!.

thanks once again
