A number of classes that I teach include some discussion of Kerberos. None try to explain how it works with any thouroughness. Some go deeper than others. When Laura Robinson taught the Windows Server 2003 trainer-prep class, she went into considerable depth without refering to notes. When I need to refresh my own knowledge, finding a place on the Internet is helpful.

In the past, I've used these two links:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/maintain/security/kerberos.mspx

Today, I re-discoveed http://www.faqs.org and there I found a good wide-ranging discussion of things Kerberos (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/) that included the debate over the spelling of the name--some people remembered Cerberus as the gardian of the gate to the underworld.

Within that topic was a recommendation for the following guides:
