- OK, fair enough. But you didn't say I could, and I'm usually right to
- assume (omission in description) -> (lack of function) (e.g. when
- reading vendorhype).

- I appreciate that you're interested in publishing. So am I, but I have
- a more immediate requirement which ordinary Kerberos will satisfy. I
- want to restrict certain document to certain INDIVIDUALS, but allow
- those individuals to use ANY workstation (even at a remote site). IP
- address filtering won't do that. I don't want simple Kerberos
- functionality to be delayed for months while the rest of the community
- argues about the finer point of widespread publication.

- If this sounds really negative, it's not meant to be. I loudly applaud
- the efforts of the folk who are doing this! :-) :-0 :-0 :-0 (3 cheers)
