re: "(after only 5 hours! I can't understand why *more* > people don't do this! argh)" I can tell we have different viewpoints, or you are kidding. My viewpoint is that I want Linux to be used by everyone, to be effective competition to Microsoft. If it "only" takes 5 hours (per machine) to set up kerberos, we've got a disconnect. (If you are administering a network, the 5 hours might be per network rather than per machine (or 5 hours plus a small increment per machine), but, on the other hand, 5 hours of your time may translate to 250 hours (or more) of a newbie's time. (I don't know much about kerberos, maybe it is even applicable to a single user "at home"?) I don't have a solution to the problem, but I do contribute to a TWiki site named WikiLearn -- I encourage you to contribute whatever you've learned about kerberos to a page (or pages) there. It should help the next person somewhat no matter how rough it may be. And: * The next person can fix the rough spots he finds * And eventually, someone in the right position (a developer or package maintainer) may look at that page, see what the rough spots have been, and fix or clarify things appropriately. (Maybe a future kerberos package would ask a few questions and then do everything for the user.) Anyway, I'm sure you know all this. I just wanted to make a pitch for storing your 5 (to 250+) hours worth of learning in an easily accessible location, hopefully WikiLearn: * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn regards, Randy Kramer
