krb5's krbtgt stuff is an extension of krb4's, and kaserver is  
essentially an early version of krb4.  As such, internally it uses  
krbtgt.REALM, and unless you did some very strange things when  
setting up cell anl.gov with kaserver, it created a krb4 realm  
ANL.GOV with a krbtgt.ANL.GOV principal that is used to acquire the  
service ticket for afs.

If the krb5 realm is *also* ANL.GOV then migration might be a bit  
complicated, but I'll have to let the experts address that one.
