Does Safari support NTLM and Kerberos Authentication???

Does Safari support NTLM and Kerberos authentication? Did it always? I suspect older versions did not support NTLM. Does anyone know of a list of MAC OS/Safari version and authentication support (NTLM vs Kerberos vs others?)

Security Update 2005-009 addresses an issue whereby "visiting a malicious HTTP server and using NTLM authentication may result in arbitrary code execution", so it seems that Safari supports NTLM.

Furthermore, the "issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4", so it looks as though versions of Safari prior to 2.x did not support NTLM authentication.
