The claim that Russ first produced a utility called agent, or that the
server logic resides in servers?  I may have summarised the protocol
poorly, but factotum is an intermediary, neither client seeking
authentication, nor server validating credentials.  In this respect,
it does not compare with the functionality provided by SASL.

Lucio.
