I would like some comment on the difference between Kerberos and NetSP
from IBM.
According to Gartner, following issues should be considered

A. Kerberos :

1. it requires that all parties be concurrently connected -> no suppor
for dial-in
2. it can only use TCP/IP
3. it uses more cpu, memory and nework bandwidth
4. is it available on DOS, OS/2 and AIX, MVS and VM ?

I would like to know if these remarks are justified and true

B. NetSP

1. closed technology
2. a client can obtain authentication credentials before connecting to a
server (?)

Thanks for any comments.
