Thankyou.
Can you let me know when/if you hear of a solution being available. I will do likewise.
Tim.

I've been told this should work on Panther (not sure about Jaguar).  I did a network trace, and sure enough, my Mac asked for a service ticket.
Unfortunately, the service principal name was "www" (yep - that's the whole thing).  I'm waiting to hear back from Apple on how they came up with this principal name, but I'm guessing that they don't understand Kerberos.
Perhaps they will fix this - hopefully soon.  I believe they tested the Kerberos stuff with an Apache web server and not with IIS.
