I haven't looked into how well it is implemented, so I can't really say anything about it, but it is possible to compile it to use kerberos authentication. I was trying to use a homebrew vpn solution for my "wan" backups, you know, the ppp/ssh thingy, but it was to unreliable and it took to long for it to reestablish the tunnel on failure, making my amanda backups timeout and die. Now I use freeswan and it works great. // Tobbe > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
