Folks,

After reading about Kerberos (not yet dwelled into the code yet), a couple
of questions:

1. Is there a document that describes the protocol between a client and
   the KADM server? This protocol is supposed to enable addition/deletion
   of principals, and the modification of their keys.

2. If the principal is a user, I would assume the login process would take
   care of password expiration, and ask the user for a new password, right?

3. If the principal is a server, how is its key similarly "managed" with
   the KDC? Is there a client program that handles this?

4. Does Kerberos work with Challenge/Response type authentication devices
   (note that the KRB5 spec has a #define for ATT_SMART_CARD)? How?

Thanks,
		-Guru
