- For kerberos and non-kerberos systems, I assign users an initial
- password and tell them what it is. They are told to change it (how
- to change it, etc).
-
-
- If they do not change it (ie, the old one can be used to change their
- passwd, their passwd is changed and they lose.

- P.S. Has anyone had any experience using SecurID cards with Kerberos
- IV or V?
-
- I think one can use a service key to get a ticket and session key for
- a mutually authenticated private session with a "kerberos-SecurID"
- server, which is on the same machine as the kerberos server.
-
- The SecurID code would be sent to this server, and if authenticated
- by the SecurID software, the kerberos passwd would be changed to the
- securID code, and then changed to something random 30 seconds later.
-
- The client would get initial kerberos tickets as usual using the
- SecurID code as the password.
-
- Any comments are appreciated
