I'm sure I have used up or am close to using up the good will of the kerberos
developers by sustaining over the last few days a discussion of the relative
merits of centralized key distribution versus a certificate based approach.
Throughout, your remarks have been constructive and good tempered, a refreshing
change from other discussion lists in which I have participated.  I salute you.
However, I don't wish to push my luck and so I promise this will be the last
epistle of mine that mentions certificates (at least for a while).

On my part, I don't beleive I have adequately defended the issue of certificate
cost, at least for a large number of sites such as many universities.
On the other hand, I don't believe the kerberos developers have adequately
addressed the issue of interoperability in a heterogeneous environment.

To those who raised other issues to which no response has yet appeared, I will
reply by private E-mail.

Cheers,

Dan Nessett
