FYI ... I pointed him at my mac stuff and got this in reply. I
responsed about the V5 time in vague terms. This stuff sounds neat.

Subject: Re: Kerberos for DOS and/or Mac?
That's the ticket! Thanks for the macstuff. I won't be able
to do a whole lot with it in the next month+1/2, but it's going to make
selling Kerberos to the higher-ups a lot easier. (They see the need
for the security, but the need to quickly get applications out to
endusers might win over without a little help--I think it would be a
royal catastrophe without security implemented, and Kerberos would
do a lot for us).
To let you know where I'm coming from, the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a new research/production group
within the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of
Health, is developing integrated database services consisting of
bibliographic entities (e.g., MEDLINE, the single largest bib. database
in the world), DNA and protein sequences from the scientific
literature, and network access to this information. In addition to the
typical keyword retrieval methods associated with textual databases, we
will be offering several other methods for querying the literature:
DNA and protein sequence similarity, molecular biological features of
these "biosequences", and concordance of information content of abstracts
and titles. This information will be vitally important to scientists,
doctors, forensics experts, industry, and trade (e.g., the patenting of
organisms).
We will be using ASN.1 protocols, and our messages will be made
available to third party developers. Thus, we are very interested in
the ASN.1 conformance of Kerberos V5. To get to the point... Can
you tell me when V5 might be reasonably expected to appear? (Whatever
you can tell me won't go beyond our group if you don't want it to).
Thanks again,
- --Warren
