[OpenAFS] AFS on Win9x: kerberos configuration?

Hello,

as a followup to my problem posted yesterday (user doesn't exist):
Having played around with the auxiliary programs a little bit it seems
to me that the problem is caused by kerberos problems.

My guess is that kerberos derives the authentification server name from
the domain name, which is a problem since the cell I want to connect
to has a name DIFFERENT from the domain name AND there is in fact a cell
which has the same name as the domain name. 

In other words: I think that the client talks to the wrong authentification
server, and thus does not find my username (since I have no account on that
server).

Is there any way to configure the authentification server on Win9x?
On Unix, there are  /etc/krb.realms and /etc/krb.conf . Is there anything
equivalent?

Any help greatly appreciated...
