From geer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Mon Aug 11 15:28:44 1986 From: Dan Geer <geer@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 86 15:20:20 EDT To: bcn, geer, ostlund, treese Subject: notes from today's discussion of kerberos deployment Cc: kerberos 1. Propagage /krb/passwd to all time share machines today. This implements John's dual /etc/passwd change and Kerberos register/change routine as of code freeze date. 2. Next week, pending testing by friendlies who already have /krb in their search path before /bin and /usr/ucb, move passwd to /usr/athena. This will allow /bin/passwd to remain as it now is (which is useful in single user mode especially) and yet puts the new passwd in front of all users, based on Athena standard search paths. Staff machines on Monday; rest of Athena on Friday pending favorable results. 3. A new release of Kerberos with the ticket-granting ticket and other associated changes out today or tomorrow; this is waiting on bug fixes to mtc's (/krb/)rsh code. 4. Bugs remain in using the new passwd on workstations, and will be addressed ASAP. 5. Kerberos dependent servers (klogind & kshd) to be propagated to all Athena machines today. I'll take responsibility to notify relevant parties. Other key files are /etc/services entries and the /etc/srvtab (unique) machine key. 6. The old /etc/k_in_tkts file is no longer needed. --dan
