+=== MIT Kerberos Import into FreeBSD
+
+Contact: Cy Schubert <[email protected]>
+
+The FreeBSD Foundatation was approached to import MIT KRB5 into FreeBSD with the intent to replace our aging Heimdal.
+
+The Enterprise Working Group made a request to the Foundation to replace Heimdal with MIT KRB5.
+
+This is the first report for this project.
+
+Tasks completed:
+
+* MIT KRB5 has been imported into FreeBSD 15-CURRENT.
+* The WITH_MITKRB5 option is disabled until a successful ports exp-run is complete.
+
+Additional remaining tasks:
+
+* Fix port build errors identified by a ports exp-run.
+* Produce a writup of the new Kerberos.
+* Determine if migration of the Heimdal database to an MIT database is possible.
+  (At the moment this appears unlikely due to the age of our ancient Heimdal and the lack of support for old crypto in newer Heimdal MIT).
+* Produce Heimdal Kerberos database to MIT database migration documentation (if possible).
+* (Optional) Develop and discuss the import and migration options at the next BSDCan.
