Windows

We're in a transition with the available Windows Kerberos clients. If you need access to NCSA Mass Storage from your Windows system you'll need to use the special Kerberos for mass storage. You'll also need to place the Kerberos configuration file in your installation directory.

Otherwise, the new Kerberos and OpenAFS instructions work really well.

We recommend using a Windows SSH client for shell connections rather than kerberized telnet.
