Thanks, Bob. By saying "obtain credentials" I meant to stay generic in
describing goals since I don't know whether the options presented
to us would involve Kerberos or NTLM, though we definitely prefer
Kerberos.
I guess there's no need to restrict this query to Python mailing
lists, since I guess we could wrap a C solution. I guess I need
to go look at some Mac developer mailing lists.
