Minutes of the TELNET Working Group (TELNET)

The Telnet Working Group met on November 17th in Washington.  We
discussed Ted Ts'o's changes to the Kerberos V document, and they were
received favorably.  Steve Alexander will produce a new draft of the
Kerberos V document by year's end.

The Group then discussed delegation of privileges via the authentication
mechanism.  Most of the discussion centered on whether or not privileges
could be delegated in subsets or whether delegation should be all or
nothing.  No consensus was reached, and Cliff Neuman said he would
investigate this further on his own.  The remainder of the discussion
was about whether or not delegation should be a generic feature of the
authentication mechanism or done in mechanism specific ways, since not
all authentication protocols support delegation.  It was decided that
delegation should be handled by the specific mechanisms, and not as a
general part of authentication.
