The members of the Kerberos V5 Development Team at MIT are proud to announce the first Beta release of MIT's implementation of the Kerberos V5 protocol. This version is available for anonymous FTP FOR US SITES ONLY from ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU (18.71.0.38), in the directory pub/kerberos5.

Thanks to Dan Berstein, for providing the replay cache code. Thanks to Paul Borman from Cray for writing the Kerberos v4 to v5 glue layer and the Kerberos v5 subroutines for telnet. Thanks to Bill Sommerfeld from HP for commenting on early Kerberos interface drafts, suggesting improvements in later coding interfaces, and finding and fixing many bugs.

My original announcement of the Beta release of Kerberos V5 neglected to mention that in order to retrieve the distribution, people would need to FTP the README file in /pub/kerberos5/README to obtain instructions on how get the rest of the distribution.

Can you please in future provide some indication of how and when
non US located networked people can obtain this software. Simply
stating that export permissions do not exist begs several questions:
Has MIT even applied for an export licence?
Is anybody else looking to get an export licence?
Will this implementation appear in any form similar to the
"bones" release?
