Does any one know whether or not Zephyr has been ported to Kerberos V5 yet?
If not, any plan in the future? Thanks.
Making zephyr work with krb5 will require a change to the wire
protocol, because zephyr's wire encoding is horribly inefficient, and
krb5 AP_REQ messages are big enough that a zgram will no longer fit in
a UDP packet.
There has been talk amongst the zephyr developers of a protocol bump
to fix this problem and some others, but there isn't a schedule I
know of.
