I have ftped leash and it runs but it complains about not being able to
find vs.dll when it starts up.  Anyone know what the story is here?
leash seems to still "work" although I now sure what working means
since I am not sure what leash is supposed to do (it looks like a
kerberos ticket utility).

If I'm not mistaken,  Paul B. Hill said:

I may be missing something but what applications are available and are
being used?  In particular what applications are available for PCs
running windows with winsock?

We are currently using the Qualcomm's kerberized Eudora with
kclient.dll and like it quite a bit.  Now if I could just find a
telnet client that runs under windows with winsock and does kerberos
authentication and encryption.  

The CNS windows telnet client only does authentication which is better
than passwords in the clear and easier than SKey but encryption would
be so much nicer.  FTP Software's products seem to want FTP's stack
which we don't need and/or seem to come bundled with FTP's full set of
apps which we also don't need.

We are currently using the public beta version and find that it work
great.  Good stuff.  I believe that the FCS release was made available
recently.
