Hello again.  Many thanks to John Carr at MIT who provided the AIX patches
for Kerberos which I requested the other day!  :-)

I am trying to do some analysis of Kerberos' performance for a Distrubuted
Systems class project, so I have a few more questions.

   - Does anyone know of any studies of Kerberos which have been published
     in any of the technical journals (or anywhere else ) ?  Specifically,
     I am interested in issues relating to the performance of Kerberos --
     overhead incurred, resource usage, network traffic, any analysis on
     penetrability, documented deficiencies, profiles of usage patterns, etc.

   - Can anyone point me in the direction of software capable of listening
     to network traffic and intercepting packets as they come across the
     network ?

Thanks in advance for any and all help !  :-)
