|

| 5 | <application>Heimdal</application> is a free implementation of Kerberos
|
|---|
| 6 | 5, that aims to be compatible with <acronym>MIT</acronym> Kerberos and
|
|---|
| 7 | is backwards compatible with Kerberos 4. Kerberos is a network
|
|---|
| 8 | authentication protocol. Basically it preserves the integrity of
|
|---|
| 9 | passwords in any untrusted network (like the Internet). Kerberized
|
|---|
| 10 | applications work hand-in-hand with sites that support Kerberos to
|
|---|
| 11 | ensure that passwords cannot be stolen. A Kerberos installation will
|
|---|
| 12 | make changes to the authentication mechanisms on your network and will
|
|---|
| 13 | overwrite several programs and daemons from the Coreutils, Inetutils,
|
|---|
| 14 | Qpopper and Shadow packages.
