Hi,

I am looking for some architectural information on Kerberos, ie some
info on the protocol.

It has been my experience that when learning something new, its best to
look at some of the "why"s first and then move on the "how"s part of it.
Then its obvious why you have a file called xyz or klm...after all files
are just external data structures.

Here is an attempt to qualify my search...


I don't want some MBA's opinion about organization's security and data
protection. ie no general security stuff.

I don't want any vendor specfic changes...a protocol is a protocol.

I don't want any admin info, don't care if a file is called x or y.

I do want the beef...core...honey...the real stuff...heck if I was up to
me
I would ask for a flow control map of the clinet-server chat.

Thank you

Medi
