I'm suprised to hear X.509 is already in the same stage of development as kerberos. When do we get our 'free' copy of the source code to integrate into our unix sources? Is it written in C? Does it use ASN1? Is it integrated into pringing services already? Pretty neat. At our institution we have about 20,000 accounts we will have to migrate. When, at some point, we decide to migrate to some other mechainsm for accounts, that would be $12.5 * 20,000 -> 240,000. When we go to administration and really compare two systems and ask for money to support a centralized support mechaism for authentication... Besides, aren't there standards that are never used? mts. the snail. I'm on Jeff's side.
