I recently received the following about this:
::begin email excerpt from Roger Allison <roger@dino.reading.sgi.com>
:Silicon Graphics is keeping a watching brief on the developments in the
:heterogeneous computing environment. Currently we support the Open Network
:Computing (ONC) from SunSoft and will be migrating to ONC+ later this year.
:
:Earlier this year Silicon Graphics completed a beta port of the OSF/DCE 1.0.2
:which uses the kerberos security.
:
:Unexpectedly, our user community thought that position of this technology was
:uncertain and SGI has subsequently suspended work on this project. Given the
:current confusion in the marketplace with respect to OSF, DCE and DME, Silicon
:Graphics is likely to work with a third-party if this software reaches a
:mature position in the computing arena.
