Ah; I see. Well, I haven't gotten any Kerberos software except that pam
module...unfortunately, it has proven a bit difficult to find, let alone
actually compile, *any* kerberized applications. So I guess KRB5 would
be the best way to go, if I can get any KRB5 applications working. I'd
like to get SSH and Telnet, at the very least, as well as OpenLDAP2.

It's easy in V4 too, just not documented (if even available) in KA.
