The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Computing Services
Division, is a supplier of computing resources for researchers and
students on our campus. We currently maintain a Unisys 7000/40
supermini running 4.3 Tahoe source release, a Unisys 1100/81A
running Exec, a number of small 68010 based machines and VAXstations
to support our networking and printer traffic. We also provide
campus gateway services to supercomputer centers and the Internet
via an ISI 68010 box and some Proteon routers for other departments
who have their own machines including VAXen, workstations, and
assorted PC type machines.
We are currently looking into subnetting PC's with SLIP and
Ethernet, and Kerberos sounds like it may have applications in
the management of some of this. We are also expanding our user
management software to deal with mailing lists, project groups,
multiple machines, and such, and if and when SMS gets released,
hopefully we will have a basic understanding of Kerberos, which
it seems to depend upon. From reading the paper on SMS it
encompasses more than our equivalent package will as currently
planned.
