Not necessarily. Only if both ends of the connection negotiated some sort
of stream encryption after the authentication has taken place.



This is certainly wrong. Once connection is established in the Kerberos Realm
all communications and messages exchanges are encrypted in accordance with
the rules as specified in Kerberos.



I do know what Kerberos is, I know what it does, I certainly know what it can do. However, I have a bit of a hard time working out why people love it.




You are just saying without elaborating. It is one thing to say for you someone is wrong
but you have not been forthcoming why you are right; no logical explanation.
