Well, for IAP I'm putting together an official Moira 4 release, and
I'd been thinking about doing krb5 stuff as part of that anyway. AFAIK
there are only two places that call kerberos (libmoira and the dcm
update stuff). And we'll probably have to translate between krb4ish
and krb5ish principals in places. It shouldn't be too bad.
Adding in krb5 is a good long-term thing to do. I think the question
was whether we should try to make that something that has to get working
with the initial deployment of Moira/Oracle. The worry expressed at
ACMG (by jis) was that trying to get this to work would introduce one
more variable.
At some point I would want us to move to using the Kerberos V5 libraries
and admin server, though; perhaps that would be a good target to shoot
for in the summer, maybe? (After a lot of careful testing, of course!)
