Hmm. I need to put together a single sign on module and kerberos was my=20
first choice as an authentication source. I'm also planning on releasing it=
=20
under an open source license. ldap would also work but I hate having ldap a=
s=20
a dependancy for something that should be relatively simple. Not that=20
kerberos is all that simple, but at least it's designed for the job. Any=20
other ideas on what to use that is available to ruby?

The single sign on will be modeled after CAS. I wrote a perl implementation=
=20
about a year ago since I didn't want to introduce java into our environment=
.=20
Redoing it in ruby should be fairly simple.
