Warning: exporting Kerberos may take you months while the US state department and
NSA decide to let whichever company you decide to buy off ship it to you. It is
probably better to find Ebones or a company in a place which doesn't have export
restrictions (such as Israel or Switzerland) and buy from there. However, having
support for such a tricky product can be a good thing, and we've been pleased with
Cybersafe's helpfulness.
But then these people (US State Dept. & NSA) don't have to worry about your
project deadlines!
