When retrieving Kerberos, get the file pub/kerberos/README before attempting to retrieve the software; special instructions are required to retrieve the Kerberos software distribution. ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU is the only software repository which is guaranteed to have the latest version of the Athena Network Services; other systems on the Internet may have older copies available. If being current is important for your work, then you should get your software this way. This software (along with selected applications in daily use at Project Athena) is also available on magnetic media (both QIC-24 and 9-track tape formats) in UNIX 'tar' format for those users who are not able to copy the software via anonymous FTP. Either tape format is available for US$300 for North American shipment and US$400 elsewhere. If your tape is to be shipped to an address outside the United States of America then your tape will have "Bones" ... a Kerberos-like system with the DES calls removed. Bones is not useful for authentication as supplied; you will have to add the DES calls to the code we supply. To order send a check drawn on a U.S. bank payable to "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" along with a letter providing a shipping address to: MIT Software Center Building E32-300 28 Carleton Street Cambridge, MA 02139 USA Telephone: +1 617 253 6966 The MIT Software Center cannot accept purchase orders as payment. The MIT Software Center cannot accept the terms and conditions upon the reverse side of purchase orders. Please send only a check and a letter if you must order a tape.
