Re: low-overhead encrypted telnet

I'll check this out, but if it's based on Kerberos it's probably useless for the reasons mentioned above.

Charon does not require any shared kerberos. All it does require is that the destination server have an rcmd srvtab, and the user have a kerberos principal that can authenticate to that server in some form. To use your netcom example, if netcom had their own kerberos realm, and if they were running the Charon server, then anyone with a Charon client and a netcom account could securely authenticate to their netcom account, no matter where they were actually coming from. -derek
