Availability of Pthreads, XTI, Kerberos and X.500 services

[Fletcher Kittredge]

I was wondering as the the future availability of the below networking
services in the Sun environment.  I would be interested in if they
will be available and when they will be available.  If some of these
services are provided via other means standards (i.e. "in the Sun world
we don't use Kerberos for authentication, we use ----"), I would also be
interested in that information.


POSIX 1003.4 threads (Pthreads)

X/Open Transport Level interface (XTI)

OSI X.500 naming and directory services

Kerberos authenication

thanks!
