Kerberos: The Definitive Guide now available

[Dick Joltes]

I e-mailed the author before the book was published to ask about its
coverage of programming & development topics.  The book is solely
devoted to management and configuration issues; programming and
development are not discussed at all.

I'm half tempted to start work myself on a book covering the API,
but have no idea if anyone is doing so already or if one is even
needed.
