If you are using ISODE 6.8, you will need to +apply the patches found in the file tools/pepsy-diffs to fix some bugs +in the PEPSY compiler which have caused us problems. I believe that +ISODE 8.0 should work without any problems. However, I have not had a +chance to try it out. + +>> << +>> Please report any problems/bugs/comments to 'krb5-bugs@athena.mit.edu' << +>> << + +Appreciation Time!!!! There are far too many people to try to thank +them all; many people have contributed to the development of Kerberos +V5. This is only a partial listing.... + +Thanks to Mark Eichin at Cygnus for writing the new autoconf +configuration system, for making the code much more portable, and for +serving as pre-release testers. + +Thanks to Marc Horowitz, Barry Jaspan, and Jonathan Kamens (and +others) at Openvision, Inc. for providing us with an GSS-API library, +for serving as pre-release testers, and for finding and fixing many +bugs (some of them at the last minute!). + +Thanks to Cybersafe for providing patches to fix bugs with inter-realm +authentication. + +Thanks to Ari Medivnsky and Cliff Neumann for writing a ksu client. + +Thanks to Jim Miller from Suite Software for contributing many detailed +bug reports, most of them by doing desk checks over the code! + +Thanks to Prasad Upasani from ISI for porting the Berkeley +rlogin/rsh/rcp suite and for testing out our distribution on the Sun. + +Thanks to Glenn Machin and Bill Wrahe from Sandia National Labs for +contributing the kadmin server, plus lots of bugfixes. + +Thanks to Bill Sommerfeld from HP for commenting on early Kerberos +interface drafts, suggesting improvements in later coding interfaces, +and finding and fixing many bugs. + +Thanks to Paul Borman from Cray for writing the Kerberos v4 to v5 glue +layer and the Kerberos v5 subroutines for telnet. + +Thanks to Dan Bernstein, for providing the replay cache code. + +Thanks to the members of the Kerberos V5 development team at MIT, both +past and present: Jay Berkenbilt, John Carr, Don Davis, Nancy Gilman, +Barry Jaspan, John Kohl, Cliff Neuman, Jon Rochlis, Jeff Schiller, Ted +Ts'o, Tom Yu. + + +Note: + +Project Athena, Athena, Athena MUSE, Discuss, Hesiod, Kerberos, Moira, and +Zephyr are trademarks of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
