1)kerberizing an app and 2) the mit kerberos on NT4/w2k executables (server)

[David Lawler Christiansen (NT)]

I've heard people talking about "compatibility problems" on this list.
I don't agree with them, but I can at least understand why people would
call the behavior that.  

I have not heard about the "genuine issues" you describe.  Could you
enumerate them?  If there are "genuine issues" with MS Kerberos, we
would obviously like to know about them.  Heck, there might even be
fixes already.
