jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) Tue Jan 9 14:56:45 1990 John began the meeting with a short introduction noting that the krb5 work will be a cooperative effort between Athena and Network Services. The responsible managers from those organizations are Peter Roden and Jeffrey Schiller. The encoding "on the wire" will use ASN.1; much of the C code to deal with this is already written (with the help of the ISODE tools). The proposed work split is: libkrb (MIT) libdes retrofit (possibly Rich Salz/BBN) libkdb (MIT) (retrofit current?) libkadm (MIT) libtf (Dan Kolkowitz/Stanford, Dan Bernstein/NYU(?)) libos (MIT) (part of libkrb?) KDC (MIT) applications (everybody) infinite :-) 1 week per Lots of discussion of the proposed interface, leading to an agreement to come back on Thursday with specific comments for modifications. Some salient points: + put all the O/S specific include files into an, to ease porting + there must be some form of backward compatibility at the KDC (and presumably at application servers). + the interface spec should be sorted to group the functions into natural sub-groups + we should try to make the KDC somewhat portable, but we needn't make it completely portable to non-UNIX systems (i.e. don't do things that make it non-portable)
