Jeremy,

I would like to kill the *very ugly* hack known as 'restrict
anonymous'.  The cvs logs indicate that its an outside patch that you
applied.

Firstly, remember it is not a security paramater, but is instead used
for some crazy %U/%G macros exapansion reason.

In any case, it isn't honered for the new SPNEGO code, and is badly
documented.  I'm sure that some people think it provides some security
advantage.

So, can I kill it?

Thanks,
