Yesterday I discovered that kerberos does not authenticate operations
between workstations (I was trying to rcp my files between two
workstations while logged in on both).  Win explained that it is
because we don't run kerberos daemons in workstations because
they are unsecure.  So, it was back to .rhost files.  Can this
mechanism solve that problem, too?
