Krb5 provides an object oriented interface to the most commonly used
functions included in the Kerberos 5 API.  It was developed and tested
using Perl 5.005_03 and MIT Kerberos 5 version 1.0.5 and 1.1.1.

NOTE: This module is very out of date, though it should still work with recent
Kerberos 5 libraries.  Version 2.0 will be a well deserved, complete rewrite.
Following version 1.9, only bug fixes will be released for the 1.x series.

Your comments and bug reports are welcome.  Please send them to me at
[email protected].


REQUIREMENTS
------------
o Perl 5.004_04 or later (may work with 5.003).
o Build, test and install MIT Kerberos 5 version 1.0.5 or later.


BUILDING & INSTALLATION
-----------------------
Krb5 is built and installed in the usual Perl module fashion:

1) edit Makefile.PL and change the variables in the top section according
   to your Kerberos 5 configuration.
2) perl Makefile.PL
3) make
4) make test (not implemented yet)
5) make install


DOCUMENTATION
-------------
'make' should create man pages for Krb5 which will be installed upon a
'make install'.  Perl POD documentation is supplied in Krb5.pm, which can
be viewed by typing 'perldoc Krb5'.

Take a look at the sample and simple clients and servers for some
practical examples. 

NOTE: The documentation assumes familiarity with Kerberos 5 and Kerberos
programming.  Please see the Kerberos documentation for gory details.


BUGS & PROBLEMS
---------------
o The contents of a new Krb5::Address object needs to be converted to
  network byte order before being passed to Krb5::Address->new().
  If this is not done, many functions like mk_priv and rd_priv will fail
  on little-endian platforms.  I will try to make this automatic in a
  future version.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
----------------
Thanks to Doug MacEachern for handing off this module to me, although I'm
sure he was glad to get it off his back!
