So I guess the username+realm+password information from authreg table is not used and Kerberos provides the information that the connecting user is authorized to bind the requested JID? Please excuse me all thee questions, but I like to get at least a basic clue on how the submitted code works, before applying the provided patch. Especially one that fiddles with security issues. :-) -- /\_./o__ Tomasz Sterna (/^/(_^^' http://www.xiaoka.com/ ._.(_.)_ im:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
