2.0 out of 5 stars No better than freely available stuff on web, July 26, 2000

By	J. Cadow (Boston) - See all my reviews

I'm a developer currently Kerberizing a server application. The chapter on the K5 API was useless. None of the data structures in the API is described and the example for krb5_sendauth is misleading (he fails to mention how the sample string should be retrieved by the server [it can't]).

My e-mails to Mr. Tung have gone unanswered.

My recommendation: don't buy the book -- read his free "Moron's Guide to Kerberos", look at the sample apps in the MIT K5 distribution, search MSDN for articles, and figure it out for yourself!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terse and full of errors, November 30, 1999

By	Dan Anderson (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book hoping it would help me in installing and using Kerberos. Unfortunately, it is too terse in critical areas (for example, omitting file names and command names) and full of errors. I recommend waiting for other Kerberos books next year (such as Jeffrey Schiller's)

2.0 out of 5 stars Disapointing, August 23, 2001

By	Jason Poole (Leesburg, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was very disappointing. I had high expectations for this book, but you will get more information out of the 3 online docs from MIT (Kerberos Installation Guide, Administration Guide and Users' Guide). Since this is the only book specifically for kerberos, it is by default the best book, but I think that most users and administrators of kerberos will find more prudent information on the web.
