Okay, well, no one's forcing you to use that back end. :-) > So nothing else new? Some plugin interfaces in the krb5 library, including preauthentication and KDC location determination; more will likely be added in the future. Client-side support for server name referrals, if you're using a Microsoft KDC. SPNEGO support in GSSAPI. A KDB database abstraction layer, which is how the LDAP support was added. (Want to write support for another database back end?) Security patches and many other bug fixes...
