The NetBSD Project should operate a Kerberos Realm for the
administration of its own servers.
The NetBSD Project should operate a Kerberos Realm to make
it easy for an interested party to make a test system easily
available to our developers without having to have a copy
of our /etc/master.passwd file (or rsync it all the time!).
We have a general problem gaining access to test systems
for all the ports we support; we've tried central build/test
labs, but they don't seem to stay with us all that long,
or have the widest range of hardware.
We should take advantage of the size and distributed nature
of the Internet: publish guidelines for how to make a test
system available to us (e.g. Internet access and, if possible,
console access; also suggest an isolated network segment
to avoid questions of sniffing), and provide the necessary
mechanisms such that individuals with hardware and network
access can make their machines accessible to the developers
in our Kerberos Realm?
The NetBSD Project should operate a Kerberos Realm to make
sure the code really works (eat our own dog food).
