Howdy!

  I have been asked by my manager to investigate exactly what Kerberos
is, and determine if it could be included into a product we are
developing (long-term).

Q1: Where can I find out more about it? I have read various articles regarding
    "what is wrong with it", but nothing about "what it is / can do".

Q2: I ftp'd to the ATHENA distribution site and got the README for the beta2
    version, but I see that there are export restrictions in place. Since I am
    working for a Canadian company, I assumed I couldn't get any more of the
    distribution. True? Do I have to get my corportate legal department
to contact
    someone (who?) in the US Government?

Q3: Provided we follow the disclaimer stated in the README regarding
redistributon
    (and assuming we get the correct export (import??) license), are there any 
    further restrictions regarding the selling of a product
incorporating Kerberos
    as a component?

Thanks for your help.

regards,
Rob
