The experience of SSHing into something is still nowhere near as satisfying as using Kerberised Telnet and it just printing a whole bunch of cryptic status output before suddenly giving you a shell

When Kerberos works everything about it is Extremely I'm In, and when it doesn't work everything about it is fuck everything about Kerberos and fuck MIT specifically

@mjg59 You are required by law at that point to turn to the room and ask "Anybody wanna' shut down the Federal Reserve?"

@mjg59 ssh -vvvv -o GSSAPIAuthentication=yes -o GSSAPIDelegateCredentials=yes can get you the same experience. I had to do this at CMU and it was really annoying.

@mjg59 ssh -vvv to emulate the experience, although it's less cryptic

@rfc1459 @mjg59 hmm personally I wouldn't agree with this much, because uhh shouldn't it be possible to automate most of that already? uploading files shouldn't be hard (ssh/scp exists) and automatic auth to kadmin also shouldn't be (keytabs exist?)... maybe I'm missing some important aspect here, but for me, the setup of kerberos was far more pleasant than any other kinda-database thingie...

@mjg59 I hate kerberos, kerberos is awesome. There's a reason I can't kick my FreeIPA to the curb, as much as I'd like to. There's just something about NFS4 with kerberos security that's so brilliantly elegant.
