Kerberos is a network add-on system/protocol that allows users to authenticate themselves through the services of a secure server. Services such as remote login, remote copy, secure inter-system file copying and other high-risk tasks are made considerably safer and more controllable.
The following instructions can be used as a guide on how to set up Kerberos as distributed for FreeBSD. However, you should refer to the relevant manual pages for a complete description.
In FreeBSD, the Kerberos is not that from the original 4.4BSD-Lite, distribution, but eBones, which had been previously ported to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, and was sourced from outside the USA/Canada, and is thus available to system owners outside those countries.
For those needing to get a legal foreign distribution of this
software, please DO NOT get it from a USA or Canada site.
You will get that site in big trouble! A legal copy of this is
available from ftp.internat.freebsd.org, which is in South
Africa and an official FreeBSD mirror site.
