But I'm not totally sure. No, principle and principal are entirely different words in both UK and US English. The correct word in this context is principal. > Principal = Head/Director - usually of a school or college. One of many meanings of that word, yes. > Principle = First/foremost No, that's also "principal". A "principle" is a rule, tenet, precept, or assumption. > What does "principle/principal" in terms of kerberos *actually* mean? A principal in Kerberos is an identity to which a ticket can be granted. I say identity and not entity because the same entity can have multiple separate identities for separate purposes, and each will be a separate principal. DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - des@des.no
