my need is kerberos 5 is the authentication mechanism i am using
(and i suspect more & more people will start using it thanks
to active directory).
currently i'm running netscape 4 with LD_PRELOAD set to push
my gss-enabled libsocks5 library. the benefit is that after i log in,
my kerberos 5 ticket is automatically pushed to my various
applications & i can get through the socks5 firewall without
exposing a cleartext username/password. the downside is that
socks5 + netscape 4 doesn't do https (due to netscape SSL
implementation)
i'm hoping that given the new socks5 support inside mozilla,
i'll be able to overcome this problem...
