Um...Yeah..MS "HAD" to extend kerberos to "make it work" with Win2k... More like they purposefully coded their kerberos implementation and win2k so they wouldn't interoperate with the rest of the world that was already using it...
*sigh*

Unfortunately, Microsoft did have to extend Kerberos a bit to make it work well with Windows, so cross-platform domain authentication still isn’t a cinch."
"Like KOffice, OpenOffice is designed to interoperate through Acrobat PDF files, not by reading and writing other vendors’ file formats."
