What does Leash do now? Even when I put it in startup, TechMail prompts
for a second password (contrary to the Help file, included at end). This
is presumably because the pop mail servers require a different set of
tickets than Athena. Thus, the help file ought to be updated. So what
programs use the tickets that Leash gets?
Does Host Presenter use Kerberos authentication? If not, how soon can I
hope to stop broadcasting my cleartext password to ResNet? If so, how do I
know this? It certainly gives no indication of using Kerberos.

From Leash Online Help, Why Use Leash-------------------------------------
You may wish to add Leash to your Windows start-up group. When doing so,
use the Properties menu in the Program Manager to tell Windows to run Leash
iconified. When Windows starts up, you will be prompted for your Kerberos
username and password. Leash then obtains a Kerberos ticket for you. Thus,
when you start up any other Kerberized applications--such as TechMail for
Windows--you will not be prompted for your password a second time.
