rhc@Pacbell.COM (Robert Cohen) (03/21/89)

Could someone please post or email a description of kerberos?
This is a new group on our machine (and I assume a new group period).

Thanks!!

Kerberos is an authentication system developed at MIT. It provides for
secure password transmission over networks (they are not sent cleartext),
among other things.

Or, if you prefer, Kerberos is the work of Satan.
