Three Headed Dum Dum

Kerberos on OS X Server is way ginchy and cool when it works, but when it doesn’t, it’s a huge pain in the patooty.

Kerberos is Greek for the three headed dog that guards the Gate of Hell. In the geek world, it’s a set of standards (from the really clever folks at MIT, for encrypting and storing data, especially user info and passwords. Works like magic. Except when it doesn’t. Then the big dawg just rolls over kicks it’s little chihuahua feet in the air, all three tongues hanging out and it plays dead.

I was going to go off on a whole tirade, but now I’m just fed up and going to go to bed.

    Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

     

    Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
