According to net.rumor, you cannot export those kinky authentication
stuff (named kerberos or kerberey or something) outside US. So we
Japanoid Samurai Hacker (usu. spelled JSH in fj) can't grab BSD
networking sources 2, I was told. What you grabbed from ftp.uu.net
includes those kerberey stuff. Be warned.
net.cops or net.lawyer lives in comp.unix.wizards or somesuch, I
think..
Kudos Linus.
Just another JSH,
