Hi Susan and Kris,
When it first came out, mink stood for Minimum Kerbers Installer. Mink is
the name for the installer. Please change the product name to "Kerberos
for Windows." A new installer is not on the radar and changing the name of
the installer at this point would cause too much confusion.
Leash is one of four applications and a handful of dlls that make up
Kerberos for Windows. I feel that Leash and the other three applications,
Kview, Kdestroy, and Fleavius, should be included in the help documentation
and not on the supported product sheets because it is too much information.
I hope this helps clarify.
Thanks,
Jonathan
