We're now running the primary Kerberos > server, which handles almost all the authentications on a Dell 1950. Even on non-reasonable hardware. In 1990 I tested our pathetic-by-current-standards DECstation 2100-based KDC at around 40 tickets/sec (single DES then, of course). Our peak second so far today (also on a Dell 1950) was 58 tickets issued (we'll do around a million over the course of the whole day). (FWIW: peak minute was 1248, peak hour 66274) John ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
