Great! Read-only access is all I'm looking for; with that, I can create 
a local clone, develop my changes, and re-publish an updated branch 
locally which you can inspect / pull changes from as desired.

So sooner would be ideal, but if it's going to be a couple weeks then 
I'll build a local git repository from the published 7.4 source tarball 
and migrate my patches across to a clone of the proper git repository 
when it becomes available.

From my experiments, and from my initial reading of the Condor source 
code, Condor clients /seem/ to be authenticating Kerberos peers in a 
manner that's incompatible with a cross-realm Kerberos operation.

(This is certainly the case in my current virtual-machine set-up.)

I'm interested in fixing this limitation; it looks like it should be a 
fairly minimal and straight-forward change, and would be useful for 
developing my PhD thesis.

Thanks for the warning, but -- so long as the library calls don't change 
substantially between versions -- this should be fine.

Many thanks for the speedy response!

Cheers,
