<fontfamily><param>Geneva</param><bigger><bigger>Howdy,
I wasn't sure who to send this to, so I tried a few different places.
I checked out the cool web/network/compromise.html file, and
decided to download kpasswd for my Mac and start protecting myself.
Two things:
1) I am assuming that kpasswd does NOT pass my new password in
the clear, but I have no way to confirm this (e.g., there's no nifty
message saying "connecting to Kerberos server using encryption" or
anything like that). Does it in fact pass it encrypted? Of course
there
is an obvious answer, but I wanted to check.
2) When I looked at the "Help" screen in the software itself,
I noticed that the contact info is way out of date. How can this get
changed? (I'm assuming we don't already have a kpasswd 2.0 that's
more recent -- the net-dist version the page linked to was 1.0...)
Here is the complete text of the Help screen (my annotations are
marked with ***):
