Funny that you should mention this. As far as I know, there's been two efforts
at kerberizing Netware: one by the University of Michigan, and one by Carnegie
Mellon University. Here at CMU we managed to get kerberos integrated into LOGIN
so that you would authenticate to kerberos and netware in one fell swoop, could
have synchronized passwords, and could set it up so that someone with a valid
kerberos principal who logged into netware would have an account automatically
created for them in netware if they didn't already have one. It was lots of
fun.
Anyways, You should check with CMU's computing services to see what ever
happened with this project, if you're interested.
