This thesis would not be possible without the work of many, many people.
It is traditional to first thank my parents: for it was their support,
in so many forms, that started me down the road that has ended in
Software Engineering. 

For mentoring me into and on the Samba Team, and for giving me the
rope I needed, I must give thanks to Dr Andrew Tridgell (tridge) and
the entire Samba Team. 

To my supervisor, Dr Eric Charles McCreath, for taking on a research
project at little notice, and midway though the year.

For his close attention to all the Kerberos-related changes, Love
Hörnquist Åstrand.

For reviewing and correcting the raw thesis draft, both technically
and grammatically, I give my hearty thanks to Dr Eric Charles McCreath,
Vance Lankhaar, Jim McDonough, Bruce Bartlett, Jelmer Vernooij, Luke
Howard and Dr Andrew Tridgell. 

To the Samba Team, and it's supporters for providing the infrastructure
on which this thesis has been developed - this thesis has been developed
in public, with a full version control history available from:
