Jennifer --
I just read "Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Open Network
Systems". Thanks for showing me how to get it.

I have a question (2.5 actually):
Why is it necessary to include the client's IP address in the tickets
and authenticators? Wouldn't the client's name suffice? 
Why is it necessary to include the server's name in the ticket?
Thanks,
