I had some serious problems when I tried to get streams working on
hpux 10.x, which is why I reverted to berkeley-style stuff. Doug/Sam
seems to have gotten streams to work, but I'm still a little
uncomfortable. I'm probably also biased from my OV days, when many of
our customers required the absolute minimum changes from the
vendor-provided programs. It would be unfortunate for Cygnus or OV or
any other kerberos vendor to have to change the MIT release because we
were trying to be intellectual purists. This is nice for an
educational environment, but is inadequate for the real world. If we
want to make kerberos widely-accepted, it needs to be as painless as
possible, and this means minimizing unnecessary changes.
