Simon,

Thanks for summarizing where K5 support stands, it's great to know.

I wanted to ask for a bit more information. You said:

"There are two projects which will bring more complete Kerberos V
support to AFS (in particular, support for a wider range of encryption
types). Marcus Watt's rxk5 is functionally complete, but a number of
issues have to be addressed before it can be merged to the mainline. I
can't speak to timescales for this - I guess it depends very much on
how much time Marcus has to spend on it."

Could you expand a bit on the "number of issues" that remain if it's functi=
onally complete? Is there a published list of things that need to be in pla=
ce for something to be mainlined, in general, or are these issues only for =
Rxk5?

Thanks for the clarifications!

Evan Macbeth
