A layman's guide to Kerberos

While working on configuring Kerberos authentication for the MOSS environment that I am working on I was looking for articles on the detailed steps to configure it.  Over a period of time I had read  number of articles from variouos authors and the more I read I realized that I was not getting the complete picture on implementing Kerberos.  So I kept digging deeper into the depths of Google search and came up with this interesting article on Kerberos.  This gives a very simple and detailed explanation of what came to be known as the Kerberos implementation from MIT. Here it is http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/dialogue.html.

I found it very useful to get a good understanding of the inner workings of Kerberos as it was proposed and planned.  I hope you too find it interesting!
