The DES library has been updated with his 3.23 version and +numerous patches collected over the years have been applied to both +the kerberos and DES sources, most notably the CMU patches for extended +lifetimes that AFS uses. There is also support for AFS built into most +programs. + +The source has been changed to use ANSI C and POSIX to the largest +possible extent. The code in util/et and appl/bsd have not been +updated in this way though (they really need it). + +Telnet and telnetd are based on the telnet.95.10.23.NE.tar.Z. Kerberos +authentication is the default and warnings are issued by telnetd if +the telnet client does not turn on encryption. + +The r* programs in appl/bsd have been updated with newer sources from +NetBSD and FreeBSD. NOTE: use of telnet is prefered to the use of +rlogin which is a temporary hack and not an Internet standard (and has +only been documented quite recently). Telnet uses kerberos +authentication to prevent the passing of cleartext passwords and is +thus superior to rlogin. + +The distribution has been configured to primarily use kerberos +authentication with a fallback to /etc/passwd passwords. This should +make it easy to do a slow migration to kerberos. OTP support is also +included in login, popper, and ftpd. + +All programs in this distribution follow these conventions: + +/usr/athena/bin: User programs +/usr/athena/sbin: Administrator programs +/usr/athena/libexec: Daemons +/etc: Configuration files +/var/log: Logfiles +/var/kerberos: Kerberos database and ACL files + +A W3-page is at http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-krb/ + +You can get some documentation from ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/doc. + +Please report bugs and problems to kth-krb-bugs@nada.kth.se + +There is a mailing list discussing kerberos at krb4@sics.se, send a +message to majordomo@sics.se to subscribe. |
