I have a DEC (John Linn) document (Sept 1990) which describes a proposed
Generic Security API for Kerberos & SPX.  It references people involved
in OSF.  I assume that the OSF DCE Security Service has defined an API.

My question is, is OSF's DCE Security service API based upon, or derived
from the DEC GSSAPI?  If so, is it promoted as being some form of standard
network security API?  If so, in what forums and where can I get further
information?

Please Email any response as news takes too long to trickle down here.

Thanks in advance,
