OpenVision Technologies, Inc. has donated this Kerberos Administration system to MIT for inclusion in the standard Kerberos 5 distribution. This donation underscores our commitment to continuing Kerberos technology development and our gratitude for the valuable work which has been performed by MIT and the Kerberos community. Now, with that out of the way, let me point you to a few things: The first file you should look at is doc/install.ps; it contains the notes for building and installing Kerberos 5. The info file krb5-install.info has the same information in info file format. You can view this using the GNU emacs info-mode, or by using the standalone info file viewer from the Free Software Foundation. Other good files to look at are admin-guide.ps and user-guide.ps, which contain the system administrator's guide, and the user's guide, respectively. They are also available as info files kerberos-admin.info and krb5-user.info, respectively. >> << >> Please report any problems/bugs/comments to 'krb5-bugs@mit.edu' << >> << Appreciation Time!!!! There are far too many people to try to thank them all; many people have contributed to the development of Kerberos V5. This is only a partial listing.... Thanks to John Linn, Scott Foote, and all of the folks at OpenVision Technologies, Inc., who donated their administration server for use in the MIT release of Kerberos. Thanks to Paul Vixie and the Internet Software Consortium for supporting the OV administration server integration work. Thanks to Jeff Bigler, Mark Eichin, Mark Horowitz, Nancy Gilman, Ken Raeburn, and all of the folks at Cygnus Support, who provided innumerable bug fixes and portability enhancements to the Kerberos V5 tree. Thanks especially ot Jeff Bigler, for the new user and system administrator's documentation. Thanks to Doug Engert from ANL for providing many bug fixes, as well as testing to ensure DCE interoperability. Thanks to Sean Mullan and Bill Sommerfeld from Hewlett Packard for their many suggestions and bug fixes. Thanks to the members of the Kerberos V5 development team at MIT, both past and present: Jay Berkenbilt, Richard Basch, John Carr, Don Davis, Nancy Gilman, Sam Hartman, Marc Horowitz, Barry Jaspan, John Kohl, Cliff Neuman, Kevin Mitchell, Paul Park, Ezra Peisach, Chris Provenzano, Jon Rochlis, Jeff Schiller, Harry Tsai, Ted Ts'o, Tom Yu.
