Funny this topic should come up on PLUG today, as I've been looking at 
this issue this morning.

Some relevant links are:
_http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/integrated-auth.html_
_http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/darin/archives/006185.html_

I've authenticated on my FC2 workstation to our active directory domain 
using Kerberos v5, and convinced my Firefox install to use that ticket 
for authenticating to the .NET webservers here that accept Negotiate or 
NTLM WWW-Authenticate methods. Saves me having to type my password 
manually for accessing these services. Now if only mount.cifs or similar 
would use that ticket for accessing CIFS shares, I would be one step 
closer to that elusive single sign on.

Cheers
