I'd love to use secure shell, but there doesn't appear to be a MacOS
client (yet), and almost all the machines I connect from are running

CMU does have alot of legacy Kerb 4 stuff around, and the structure to
support it.

Johan Danielsson <joda@pdc.kth.se> suggested the version of kerberos at

I'm building it right now.

Thanks for your help.
