Date: Wed, 28 Aug 91 09:29:03 PDT From: bcn@ISI.EDU (Clifford Neuman) To: kerberos@MIT.EDU, krb-protocol@MIT.EDU Cc: jis@MIT.EDU, tytso@MIT.EDU, jtkohl@berkeley.edu In the past few months there have been many changes in the roles of members of the Kerberos team. One of the most important changes is that John Kohl is pursuing graduate studies at Berkeley and is no longer the person to contact with queries about Kerberos. As has always been the case, queries about Kerberos are best sent to addresses set up specifically to handle such queries. Requests for information about the release, or for documentation should be sent to info-kerberos@mit.edu. The release and documentation are available by FTP from ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU in the directory /pub/kerberos, and also available through electronic mail by sending a message with the first line of "HELP" to archive-server@athena-dist.mit.edu Bug reports for Version 4 of Kerberos should be sent to kerberos-bugs@mit.edu. For Version 5, they should be sent to krb5-bugs@mit.edu. General discussion about Kerberos takes place on the mailing list kerberos@mit.edu (gatewayed in both directions to the Usenet newsgroup comp.protocols.kerberos). To be added to the mailing list send a message to kerberos-request@mit.edu. The present leader of the Kerberos development team is Ted Ts'o. He is overseeing the continued development of Version 5, and to some extent, maintenance of Version 4. Queries or bug reports should go to the mailing lists, not to him personally. The Version 5 protocol spec is now pretty stable and has been submitted to the IETF as an Internet Draft. There are still some minor changes with respect to encryption and checksum methods that are being made and some additional changes might result as it makes its way through the IETF standards track. Discussion about the Version 5 protocol takes place on the mailing list krb-protocol@mit.edu (krb-protocol-request@mit.edu to be added). If you don't want to send your comments to the entire list, you should contact both John and myself. Bug reports and queries about the V5 implementation should be directed to krb5-bugs@mit.edu and info-kerberos@mit.edu respectively. Jeff Schiller, Ted Ts'o and myself are also starting to look towards future changes to Kerberos. Anyone wishing to discuss such issues should send a message to the kerberos or krb-protocol lists or contact one of us directly. ~ Cliff
