Actually MS-Kerberos is part of W2K-Workstation (aka Windows 2000 Professional) and the respective XP-versions as well. It can be seen in various locations (e. g. VPN authentication). To make a W2K-Workstation authenticate against a Unix-KDC, you need ksetup, which is in the tools directory on your W2K-disc (I didn't succeed doing that, yet). MS has made MS-Kerberos their default authentication mechanism - keeping NTLM only for compatibility reasons. MS-Kerberos is a vital part of Active Directory (AD) and AD is a vital part of the new networking concepts in 2000 and XP, which replace the old domain concept of NT. by T�ns -- There is no safe distance. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
