Would it make sense with a Kerberos-enabled floppyd, when (or if) Skolelinux switches to using Kerberos?
As I understand Kerberos, the core logic is to authenticate _both_ user and service against a third party (the ticket server). So even services on a thin client should be able to trust if done properly, right?

What has that to do with it (I am honestly interested for other reasons: I have recently poked with getting KDE3.3 to work sanely with autofs4, and is curious if there's a better way).
