Well, there was the email you just responded to, to system-hackers and Francesco among others, telling him what I've observed and heard about the situation, since he said he hadn't gotten a response to his email in nearly two days. > I don't know if cross-realm auth from ATHENA.MIT.EDU will be > preserved.

Well, there's me... but my only useful contact on your end for Kerberos stuff has been Joel. He's been talking to me (and maybe Tom Yu?) about Kerberos stuff on occasion, as needed. Why did the entries get deleted, anyways? Did the Kerberos server get broken into after all? > I haven't seen an email from you offering help either. Did I miss > that too? If you need help on Kerberos related stuff, I'd be happy to give some. I could even make half an argument that debugging Kerberos problems at your site is kind of job-related, maybe. Non-Kerberos stuff, well, that'd depend on my free time, and my coming up to speed on what you're doing, etc, etc. > How are you testing this if you can't get a ticket? "telnet subversions.gnu.org 544" says "connection refused"; 544 is Kerberos rsh. > And you're welcome to keep accessing it that way. Although we'll be > offering Kerberised SSHv2 shortly as well. That's good news, thank you. > Any other questions? The rest of your email appeared to just be a > rant. Yes, I'm sorry about the tone, but being shut out for a couple of days, with no information I could find on why, and (from Francesco's comments) no information coming from sysadmins, I was feeling pretty frustrated.
