+Heimdal is a free implementation of Kerberos 5. The goals are to:
+* have an implementation that can be freely used by anyone
+* be protocol compatible with existing implementations and, if not
+ in conflict, with RFC 4120 (and any future updated RFC).
+ RFC 4120 replaced RFC 1510.
+* be reasonably compatible with the M.I.T Kerberos V5 API
+* have support for Kerberos V5 over GSS-API (RFC1964)
+* include the most important and useful application programs
+ (rsh, telnet, popper, etc.)
+* include enough backwards compatibility with Kerberos V4
