+	  Kerberos is a system for authenticating users and services
+	  on a network. Kerberos is a trusted third-party service.
+	  That means that there is a third party (the Kerberos server)
+	  that is trusted by all the entities on the network
+	  (users and services, usually called "principals").
+	  This is the MIT reference implementation of Kerberos V5.
