  "Authentication Manager" (AuthMan) version 1.0.8 is now available.
	(AuthMan implements Kerberos v4 for Apple's Macintosh.)

for FTP from
		       MONET.CCS.ITD.UMICH.EDU
in file
		      /pub/AuthMan-1.0.8.sit.hqx

Full source is provided.
  
New features in version 1.0.8 include: 
    o    AuthMan (optionally) inserts an authentication menu in System 7's
         menu bar next to balloon help.  It provides a visual indication
         of authentication status by changing the menu icon depending on
         whether the user is authenticated or not.  The menu contains
         options to authenticate, change passwords, and expire tickets.
  
    o    AuthMan can be configured to expire all tickets after a period of
         inactivity (useful for public labs, insecure environments, etc.)
  
    o    AuthMan supports password changing with MIT Kerberos servers.
         (Consult the README files re: AFS Kerberos password changing.)
  
    o    AuthMan's DES code has been revamped to provide faster operation
         for applications which implement data stream encryption
         (ex:  mods to NCSA Telnet 2.6 to use AuthMan are being completed)
  
    o    AuthMan's DA (version 1.0.1) (equivalent to MIT's 'klist' or
         AFS's 'tokens') has a few bug fixes and will now update its
         ticket list automatically as tickets are added/expired if open.
  
    o    more sample applications for programmers are included
  
    o    a few miscellaneous bugs were fixed
  
PLEASE read the README file that comes with AuthMan.
