Sure, I can help out with that. I've done a bunch of work on the current kerberos stuff (tohugh I'm by no means the author) in order to make it work on win32, so I have a little bit of a clue around that code ATM. As for the other part - will core accept this - I can't answer that. I do beleive that there is a point to it, given that Java will then support it natively, but I'm not core. I'm unsure if there is a clear view on the merits of adding more authentication options.. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
