alt Hacker NewsWhere do I find money to fund my rewrite of Kerberos 5 in Rust, removing the dumb options and Kerberos 4 compatibility and eventually create Kerberos 6 + AD that will solve a metric buttload of issues in Linux and knock a major peg of MS off?

Memory safety or type safety are the least of Kerberos' issues. The protocol itself is fundamentally flawed.

Ask IBM/RedHat. They did a lot of foundational work with SSSD (aka "too many 'S' D").
Kerberos is not a great protocol, though.
