Sean,
I thought you had a copy of our pre-beta 6 development snapshot,
right? (I gave one to someone at HP, and I thought you had access to
it, anyway.) Preauthentication handling has significantly changed
between beta 5 and what we have now.
Some engineers at HP have been looking at the pre-release to
decide what (if anything) would be merged into DCE. Unfortuately, I
think the decision that was made was that DCE had drifted too far from
the current MIT source tree to make it easy to adopt our framework. I
do hope this is a decision that can be re-examined later on when
deadlines aren't quite so tight. I believe our new framework for
handling preauthentication is far superior.
