It has been my experience that from the end-user standpoint, Kerberos scales down well. I think that's a significant part of why Apple and Microsoft have adopted it for their server authentication solutions.
However, it has been my experience that many of the open-source authentication tools based on Kerberos do not scale down well from the standpoint of the system administrator. This is not a technology problem; it is a software implementation problem. Put another way: there is significant room for value add in tools that make Kerberos and AFS easy to set up. --Sam ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
