Followup comments from Graeme

Some followup comments from Graeme:

"'Service-levels are still to be defined.' is not true. The service levels are the same as now and are 24x7 continuous operation with 1st line support 24x7 and 2nd line support 9 to 5 on working days.

"Alternative instance principals could be provided using a web-form registration process allowing anyone to create instances for their own principal. This is on a to do list of mine but wasn't part of this project but we can add it on as a deliverable or add it to a future project e.g. FRIEND.EASE realm.

"KDCs are off their local LAN but not off-site. They are in the same sites that Informatics currently have theirs as far as I am aware.

"I don't think I would be happy hosting their realm on our infrastructure. I don't think that is much of a win for them and doesn't gain us anything except an additional headache of having to consult them every time we wanted to patch/update/redevelop or whatever.

"We should probably look at the krb5-strength module but we would need to be careful that it was matching the guidance on the password change pages."
