Subject: Kerberos Authentication using Java

Dear authors,

I am a university student in Singapore (www.ntu.edu.sg ), and I have been much benefited by reading your book. To have a good understanding of Kerberos Authentication, I have implemented a simple frame work in java, using JDK 1.4.0_03. If you are interested, it is at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javakerberos/

I wish this small project can shed a light to friends taking their Distributed System course, hence If your website can put a link to this project to serve as an example, I would be much appreciated. It is open source, under GPL.

Thanks.
