Thanks to Matt Crawford, Randy Reitz and Dane Skow for technical review as well as updated information. Reorganization of the manual was Dane's idea. I want to thank Cele Bruce, Nuha Elmaghrabi, Margaret Greaney and Joy Hathaway for reviews and/or contributions. Thanks to the many people mentioned below that have continued to provide information.

DRAFT Release August 1, 2001

Ctributions from: Lisa Giacchetti, Randy Reitz, Mark Kaletka, Richard Partridge, Dane Skow, Chris Brew, Troy Dawson, Liz Buckley, Frank Nagy, Brian Drendel, Art Kreymer, Margaret Votava, plus of course, Matt Crawford, other usual suspects, and kerberos-users mailing list subscribers.

DRAFT Release June 8, 2001

Again, lots of info from Matt Crawford. Significant contributions also from Liz Buckley, Michael Kriss, Marc Mengel, Tim Zingelman, Frank Nagy, and from other users on the kerberos-users mailing list. Reviewers also include members of the CD-WWW group and Eileen Berman.

Releases 1.0b, February 22, 2001

A number of updates were made to the manual to reflect the changes implemented in the Strong Authentication project over the last year, and in response to issues raised on the kerberos-pilot@fnal.gov mailing list. Many thanks to the users who brought up their questions and ideas in this forum, and to those who lent their expertise. Glenn Cooper, Matt Crawford and Mark Kaletka provided many of the answers to the users' questions (and to mine!). Stefano Belforte, Frank Nagy, and Benn Tannenbaum provided information to me on various topics. Yolanda Valadez provided wisdom gained from her experiences escorting users into the strengthened realm. I also wish to acknowledge the authors of the CDF Quick Start for Kerberos Users documentation; I borrowed a couple of ideas from it! Matt Crawford very kindly took time to review the manual.

Release P1.0, February 29, 2000

Members of the Fermilab Computer Security Team as of February 2000 (Matt Crawford, Mark Kaletka and Lauri Loebel Carpenter) provided and reviewed much of the information for this manual. Other contributors/reviewers include Liz Buckley-Geer, Mike Lindgren and Mike Stolz. Brenna Flaugher initially expressed the need for a document on this subject, thus getting the ball rolling. Thanks Brenna!
