Hi Mike

I'm working in the Java SE Security Team in Oracle. Apple's JRE (at 
least in the JDK 6 releases) supports some extra Kerberos features for 
OS X. As I know, at least there are:

1. Looking for krb5.conf at /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos
2. Reading native memory-based credentials cache into Credentials objects

I didn't see them on the Project Status page [1]. Is it because they are 
too trivial to be listed or you're not going to support them?

Thanks
Max
