Shawn will look into arrangements re early solaris source access.

Greg

password quality interface. princ, pass, dictfile, policy name; localization of password quality error messages: how to localize? on client or server? send number? or string?

Simo

Microsoft uses message catalog numbers in free-form text.

Greg

Will leave parameter for localization.

Simo

Disagree for complexity reasons.

Greg

Leaves open the possibility; extra unused parameter is a small cost.

Sam

can think of many reasons for that set/change protocol and none of them are localization. Is Marcus happy?

Greg

Marcus offered it as a suggestion. Have already implemented many of the changes Marcus made.

Sam

Prefer to not do password sync via stackable DB mechanisms. Love likes it, but it's not implemented in Heimdal yet.

Greg

iprop is kind of gimpy stacking. Hooks look like a potential stacking.

Shawn

issues with multi-tierd using file replay caches. sharing "host" principal. locking issues? Multiple threads independently open an rcache; mutex only protects in-memory object, not file.

Sam

Make changes in GSS relating to [acceptor?] credentials.

Greg

High level: protocols should be replay-proof. rcache doesn't help with suppress/replay, etc. attacks.
