Oracle's uses CyberSafe's Challenger product with SNS to provide
Kerberos 5 authentication; all of CyberSafe's supported Unix systems
include an integrated login (those include HP-UX but not DEC Unix); NT
support (for login) is presently in alpha. That's almost everything.
Then again, you don't have to get it all from one vendor. I assume
DEC can provide you with the DEC Unix login. And other vendors may
have other pieces. (The Oracle SNS/Kerberos 5 part is presently
available only from CyberSafe.) All of the parts *should*
interoperate.
