Microsoft told everyone this back at Beta 1. Apparently they got away with it and still called it Kerb is because Kerb is an open standard that allows extensions. Anyway, you can use a Win2K server to auth Kerb clients that don't require the MS specific field. Being a student at NCSU, I know this is going to be a big problem with upgrading our NT4 machines. The university doesn't want to turn over their Kerb machine running Solaris to a PC running Win2K. We'll probably end up with two different Kerb servers that somehow try to stay synched up as we do now for Kerb and Novel authentications.
