Rocklyn,
I was just thinking about the printing.....and it came to me that we are
ASSUMUNG that the application servers will be using lprng for printing and
therefore kerberos will be involved with the transaction.
I am not sure that is a good assumption. Most of the application servers
that we are dealing with are compaq alpha's and I am not real sure that the
lprng has been ported or installed on most of the application
servers. They will be doing a straight lpr command. So there may be a
hole in our assumption of all print files coming to plunder and pillage
will be able to be authenticated.
Food for thought. We can discuss this and it's implications at the Monday
meeting.
Lynne
