	True, but remember the stink about Kerberos when Windows 2000 was
released? While Kerberos is a free and open standard, it provides a few
fields where vendors can add proprietary, app-specific extensions.
Microsoft used this field to make it difficult for Win2k machines to
interoperate with Samba.
