Windows 2000 and later use Kerberos as their default authentication
method. Some Microsoft additions to
the Kerberos suite of protocols are
documented in RFC 3244 “Microsoft
Windows 2000 Kerberos Change Password
and Set Password Protocols”. RFC 4757
documents Microsoft’s use of the RC4
cipher. While Microsoft uses the
Kerberos protocol, it does not use
the MIT software.
Many UNIX-like operating systems,
including FreeBSD, Apple’s Mac OS X,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Sun’s
Solaris, IBM’s AIX, HP’s OpenVMS, and
others, include software for Kerberos
authentication of users or services.
from wikipedia,
also if you visit http://www.kerberos.org/ , the Kerberos Consortium, they have a pdf document which has as sponsors:
Consortium
Which shows that if implemented correctly, there are uses for it.
visit http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Main_Page for more information on this consortium.
