And this [1] says for interoperability reasons.

- cryptonector 8mo agoI don't think that has anything to do with FreeBSD's choice of MIT Kerberos or Heimdal.
- p_ing 8mo agoWell, except the FreeBSD Foundation explicitly says MIT was chosen for interoperability. Are you disputing the FreeBSD Foundation document?
- cryptonector 8mo agoEr, sorry, I meant the whole thing about Heimdal being non-U.S. based.
