    I used to also, in two places. Kerberos is very secure in
particular because the authentication is made by a dedicated host (the
KDC, AFAIR) to which nobody has access, except the kerberos admin, and
both the user and the host get authenticated. Kerberos authentication
can also go through GSSAPI, which, I remember was difficult to get
working, but is more comfortable to users because their "ticket" (or
maybe "token", I don't remember) can be reused during its lifetime
without sending again a username and password. Kerberos is also usable
in web servers, Nginx at least. It's a system for large organizations
because it takes a lot of work to deploy and maintain.
